Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is delighted to count on a fully fit Rodrigo Bentancur.

The Uruguay midfielder is again available for Postecoglou.

The manager said: "The beauty of him is he can play a couple of different areas. I think he can play as a six, he can play further forward as an eight and he's even creative. I think he can score goals as well. We were kind of hoping with him, Madders, Pape, Biss and people like Pierre we were well stocked in that midfield area for different kinds of combinations, but obviously that has been disrupted a bit.

"The key for Rodrigo is to get him back to that level physically and mentally where he feels really comfortable about playing at this level. I don't think he is far off it from what I've seen and again certainly over the next few weeks he will get that opportunity.

"I don't think he is that far off from a physical perspective of being able to play his normal game, whether that is box-to-box, and part of it is getting belief in himself and his own body that he is capable of doing it. From what I have seen of training and games so far, I don't think he is far off it."
