Rodrigo Bentancur posts health update after the Tottenham midfielder was rushed to hospital following worrying injury and on-pitch treatment for NINE minutes in 1-0 win over Liverpool

Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has posted an update on his condition after suffering a worrying injury in his side's 1-0 win over Liverpool on Wednesday night.

Just five minutes into the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final tie, Bentancur went for a header at the near post from a Tottenham corner but appeared to fall awkwardly and was then left motionless on the pitch.

There was instant concern for the 27-year-old as his team-mates frantically gestured for medics to get onto the pitch to provide treatment.

The medical response was swift and fans inside the stadium were left watching on anxiously as Bentancur was treated for nine minutes before being stretchered off to applause from both sets of supporters.
