Rodrigo Bentancur Offers Encouraging News After Injury Incident Against Liverpool

New Delhi, Jan 9 (NationPress) Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has offered reassurance to supporters about his health following an alarming injury sustained during his team’s 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the initial leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday evening.

The Uruguayan international was compelled to leave the field less than 15 minutes into the game due to an unexpected incident while attempting a diving header at the near post from a corner kick. Bentancur landed awkwardly, remaining on the ground and raising immediate concerns among players and medical staff.

Medical personnel carefully transported the midfielder onto a stretcher after an eight-minute delay. Tottenham subsequently confirmed via social media that Bentancur was alert, speaking, and being taken to the hospital for further evaluation.

Bentancur himself took to Instagram shortly after midnight to offer a positive update. “All good guys! Thank you for the messages! Congratulations for the victory boys!” he wrote, accompanied by celebratory emojis.

Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou commented on the situation post-match, highlighting the seriousness of the event.

“All I know is he was conscious when he was coming off the field, and he’s been taken for observation,” Postecoglou stated. “It was a head injury, and there was concern from the players out there, so there was something going on.”

Bentancur’s injury momentarily overshadowed what became a vital victory for Tottenham. An 86th-minute goal from teenage sensation Lucas Bergvall secured a 1-0 win against the reigning champions, Liverpool, putting an end to their 24-match unbeaten streak across all competitions.
