New Delhi: Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has reassured fans about his condition following a concerning injury during his team’s 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday night.
The Uruguayan international was forced off the pitch less than 15 minutes into the match after a freak incident while attempting a diving header at the near post from a corner. Bentancur landed awkwardly and remained on the ground, prompting immediate concern from players and medical staff.
Medical personnel carefully moved the midfielder onto a stretcher after an eight-minute delay. Tottenham later confirmed via social media that Bentancur was conscious, talking, and being transported to the hospital for further checks.
