Will be option Thursday Bentancur (groin) has been training and could feature against Manchester City on Thursday, according to manager Antonio Conte.
Impact Bentancur has been out since early December with a groin injury, so it's hard to see him drawing a start in his first game minutes since then. Of course, Conte is a bit desperate in the midfield and while Bentancur maybe won't go 90, a start is possible. If not, Yves Bissouma seems to be healthier and could start at City after coming off the bench over the weekend.

Out for North London Derby Bentancur is not in the match day squad to face Arsenal on Sunday.

Impact While Bentancur won't be in the squad to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday, the fact that he is back on the training pitch is certainly a step in the right direction. Considering Bentancur has started all but one of his last 16 appearances for the club, he should be in contention to reclaim his spot in the starting XI versus Arsenal.

Impact Bentancur scored the final two goals of the match within two minutes of each other (81', 83') and sealed the exciting, comeback victory for Spurs. Unfortunately the midfielder also incurred his fifth booking of the season, so he'll be sidelined for the squad's Boxing Day matchup against Brentford. Yves Bissouma and potentially Lucas Moura will be the most likely replacements in his absence.

Snatches late winner Bentancur scored Tottenham's dramatic late winner on Saturday as Spurs defeated Bournemouth 3-2.
Impact Bentancur came on from the bench on Saturday for Yves Bissouma after 58 as Spurs pressed to come from behind against Bournemouth. His goal, Tottenham's winner, came after 92 from a penalty box scramble that resulted from a Heung-Min Son corner kick. The Uruguayan midfielder was no doubt given instructions from Spurs coach, Antonio Conte, to push and shoot when he could. He fired two shots (one resulting in the goal) and delivered two crosses (none accurate). From 12 appearances (11 starts) he has scored two goals and provided two assists.
