Rodrigo Bentancur has been hospitalised after the Tottenham star was stretchered off during Wednesday’s League Cup clash with Liverpool.
Bentancur went down unopposed just six minutes into the game while attempting a diving header from a Spurs corner.
The 27-year-old received medical treatment on the pitch and was eventually stretchered off following a lengthy delay.
In a statement posted on X, Tottenham issued an update on the midfielder’s condition, saying: “We can confirm Rodrigo is conscious, talking and will go to hospital for further checks.”
Commenting at half-time during the League Cup semi-final, Sky Sports presenter Mark Chapman said: “The latest we have on Rodrigo Bentancur after that awful-looking injury in the first half, when he was stretchered off the doctors accompanied him to the dressing room and he is still in there with the doctors. That is the only update that we have at the moment.”
