We have some really tough games in December and having him back, fully fit in November ( if all goes well ) would coincide nicely with those fixtures and give us flexibility with rotation on those quick turn-around weeks.
City on December 2nd
West Ham on December 5th
Newcastle on December 9th
Nottingham on December 16th
Everton on December 23rd
Brighton on December 26th

He could potentially save our season while Biss / Sarr are away for AFCON
Agreed, but I'm quite hopeful as ACL surgery techniques have improved dramatically over the last decade or so. Most surgeons no longer attempt to repair the tear as such, but to fully reconstruct the ligament using grafted tissue. Good synopsis here - https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/globalassets/pdfs/pls_acl-injuries_7.28.23.pdf

Grafted tissue ? FFS, We should be going full cyborg, with titanium alloys and carbon fibre! He’s worth it.

I love him. Physically looks like he is on the mend. Mentally he seems the type to not let it bother him either although I don't think we will be seeing too much of him this year. It will be very sparodic. I personally can't wait for him to come back. What a player.

Things are so good and positive at the moment I completely forgot we still have our best CM to come back soon!!!
Him, Bissouma & Maddison for me would be the best midfield 3 in the PL and I genuinely mean that. That 3 would have everything.

It is an amazing midfield but let's be real its not better than Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva/Kovacic.

A bit unfair to Sarr who has been simply immense this season. Against SU he quietly bossed the midfield
He’s been good but Benta is immense. Sarr will keep developing and allows us to not rush Benta at all which is great. But let’s not pretend like a fully fit bentacur doesn’t elevate us.

We have 2 midweek matches that’s all. No Europe, no cups. I wonder how Ange can keep them from feeling bored.

He's going to have a proper scrap on his hands trying to dislodge Sarr. What a great position to be in.

Oh to have proper depth of quality and hunger in the squad. This is where we need a big club mentality and try and 'stockpile' (to a certain degree) quality and not wonder all the time how we will keep them happy etc. Love Bentancur, fingers crossed he will be back to his best soon.

Also shows just how well Sarr has been playing.

He was the only player that played Ange football before Ange was here, imo

He’ll be hard pushed to break up Bissouma and Sarr partnership. These two are quick, strong. aggressive and dynamic. Bentancur is top quality and will be a great option once fit.
