Tottenham star Bentancur 'conscious' after head injury in Liverpool clash
Tottenham said Rodrigo Bentancur was "conscious" after the Uruguay midfielder was 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.
His team-mates showed immediate concern and play was stopped as Bentancur received medical attention for nine minutes before he was replaced by Brennan Johnson.
The 27-year-old was given oxygen through a mask during the treatment as a hush fell on the capacity crowd.
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.
"We can confirm Rodrigo is conscious, talking and will go to hospital for further checks," the club said in a statement on X during the half-time interval.
