Bentancur Assures Fans Following Head Injury
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has reassured fans that he is “all good” after suffering a head injury during the first half of Wednesday’s 1-0 Carabao Cup semi-final victory over Liverpool.
Bentancur’s Injury Sparks Concern
The Uruguay international collapsed to the turf inside the opening ten minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Without contact from any other players, Bentancur appeared to hit his head on the ground while attacking a corner kick. The incident caused serious concern among players and fans alike. After nearly ten minutes of treatment on the pitch, he was stretchered off to a standing ovation from the crowd.
Social Media Update Brings Relief
Following the match, Bentancur took to social media to post an encouraging update:
“All good guys! Thank you for the messages. Congratulations on the victory boys,” he wrote, sharing a smiling photo of himself alongside his partner.
Manager Ange Postecoglou’s Comments
Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou addressed the situation post-match, confirming that Bentancur was conscious when leaving the pitch and was taken to the hospital for observation.
“It was worrying, and [a head injury] is always concerning, but we think at this stage he is going to be OK,” Postecoglou said. He refrained from speculating on the exact nature of the injury, emphasizing the importance of accurate medical assessments.
Upcoming Fixtures Without Bentancur
Tottenham faces fifth-tier Tamworth in the FA Cup third round on Sunday, followed by a north London derby against Arsenal next Wednesday. While Bentancur is unlikely to feature in either game, his availability for the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Anfield in early February remains uncertain.
