Rodrigo Bentancur called up to Uruguay squad | OneFootball

There is a good portion of Spurs fans who will be glad that there is an international break, with no club football to ruin their mood. In fact, Ange's side do not play again until the 3rd of April - a whole 17 days after the defeat to Fulham. Great success.

Over the international break, we will be keeping you right up to date with the fortunes, or otherwise, of Spurs players on international duty - though we understand that plenty of you won't have the energy to care.

So far, we have told you about as many senior calls up and age group calls up as possible. The last one to mention - before we do a round up of everyone - is Rodrigo Bentancur, where we finally have official confirmation that he has been called up to the Uruguay squad for their World Cup qualifiers.

Rodrigo Bentancur called up to Uruguay for World Cup qualifiers

Manager Marcelo Bielsa has actually called up 38 players, with some only being used for training, although - despite his recent poor performances in a Spurs shirt - we can probably assume that Bentacur is going to play in the games.

During this break, Uruguay will take on Argentina at home, before facing Bolivia away from home. In the game against Argentina, he could play club team mate Cristian Romero, although he won't be against former team mate Giovani Lo Celso, whom is not in the squad.

It is quite a big game towards the top of CONMBEOL World Cup qualifying - Argentina are top of the standings, with 25 points from 12 games - whilst Uruguay are in second, wihth 20 points from their 12 games. That said, both teams are looking comfortable to automatically qualify for the finals in North America next summer.

The game against Bolivia will not be easy either, with the infamous high altitude over there, that often makes it extremely hard for opponents. Their old ground, La Paz, was known for being high altitude, and they have since moved to a ground with an even higher altitude.

So - they will play Argentina on Friday, the 21st of March, at 23:30 GMT, whilst they will face Bolivia on Tuesday, the 25th of March, at 20:00 GMT. Should Bielsa's side win both of their games, they will be on the brink of securing their spot in North America next year. In the reverse fixture against Argentina, they managed to win 2-0 against Bielsa's own country.
