Rio Ferdinand tipped Tottenham to turn their Champions League fate around in their two-legged contest clash against AC Milan - by calling on a player who won't play again this season.
Rodrigo Bentancur is ruled out for the remainder of the campaign after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury during Saturday's 4-1 defeat by Leicester. The Uruguayan has established himself as one of the most important players in Antonio Conte's system this term, which is why news of his season-ending injury was such a blow.
It was news that clearly failed to reach Ferdinand, however, with the former Manchester United man insisting all will be okay for Spurs following their 1-0 defeat by Milan at the San Siro, so long as they have their crocked midfielder lining up for them less than a month after enduring one of the worst injuries a professional athlete can suffer.
