Rodrigo Bentancur Injury: Tottenham Star Taken Off On A Stretcher<\/h2>\n

There was huge concern around the Spurs midfielder’s well-being following a corner from the hosts.<\/p>\n

The Uruguayan star stooped low to head the football<\/a> at the corner was whipped in but was left on the ground immediately after.<\/p>\n

Bentancur’s Tottenham<\/a> team-mates came to his aid as he laid on the turf.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Sky Sports’ commentary, Alan Smith said: “There’s a lot of concern there. Bentancur went for the diving header, nobody challenged him I don’t think. I think he just fell awkwardly.”<\/p>\n

The medical team came on moments after, tending to the midfielder as the cameras panned to Ange Postecoglou<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lead commentator Rob Hawthorne added: “Yeah, I think he stooped low to try and get his head on the ball and possibly ended up crashing into the ground and landing on his head which is a concern that Spurs could do without.”<\/p>\n

Following a lengthy stoppage, Bentancur was taken off on a stretcher, adding to Spurs’ injury woes.<\/p>\n

Brennan Johnson replaced Bentancur in the 15th minute.<\/p>\n

Tottenham gave an update<\/a> on Bentancur’s condition during the half-time break on social media.<\/p>\n

They tweeted: “We can confirm Rodrigo is conscious, talking and will go to hospital for further checks.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
