Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur was taken to hospital after a concerning head injury in Wednesday's League Cup semi-final against Liverpool. The Uruguayan later reassured fans on Instagram that he was 'all good'. Tottenham won the game 1-0 thanks to Lucas Bergvall's late goal, but the victory was overshadowed by Bentancur's early exit.
TOTTENHAM’S RODRIGO BENTANCUR has confirmed that he is well, having been taken to hospital following his concerning injury in Wednesday’s League Cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool .
Bentancur stooped to head a corner after seven minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and stayed on the ground after falling unchallenged. Advertisement Tottenham moved to ease fears over Bentancur, who only recently returned from a seven-game ban for using a racial slur about team-mate Son Heung-min.
“It hasn’t been through the want of trying that our results haven’t been as good, it’s certainly not been on them, it’s just that we haven’t been able to get the consistency to get the results that we need. Just proud that they feel good tonight, that they get the rewards of their hard work.” Slot and his Liverpool players cut frustrated figures, but their fury increased within 120 seconds when Bergvall rifled home from Dominic Solanke’s lay-off to earn injury-hit Spurs a precious 1-0 victory ahead of next month’s second leg at Anfield.“When he didn’t give the second yellow, I didn’t think anyone would think it would have such a big impact 30 seconds later,” Slot said.
Slot proceeded to highlight how opposite number Ange Postecoglou had shown his displeasure after Tottenham’s 2-1 loss at home to Newcastle on Saturday when the visitors benefited from Joelinton being able to handle the ball in the build-up to Anthony Gordon’s goal.
