Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has posted a health update on social media after suffering a worrying injury during his side’s 1-0 victory over Liverpool on Wednesday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bentancur went for a header from a Tottenham corner but landed awkwardly on the floor and laid motionless on the ground.<\/a> The incident happened just five minutes into the first-leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.<\/p>\n

There was instant concern from his team-mates with Pedro Porro the first one to rush over to his side.<\/p>\n

There was swift medical response with treatment lasting nine minutes on the pitch before he was taken off on a stretcher.<\/p>\n

Tottenham<\/a> confirmed on Wednesday night that the Uruguayan had been taken to hospital for further scans.<\/p>\n

Bentancur Provides Health Update On Social Media<\/h2>\n

Bentancur posted a health update on social media<\/a> in the early hours of Thursday morning to reassure fans on his wellbeing.<\/p>\n

He posted a picture of himself smiling with his fiancee, Melany La Banca, by his side.<\/p>\n

Alongside the picture he wrote: “All good, guys! Thank you for the messages!!! Congratulations for the victory boys!!!”<\/p>\n

\"Bentancur<\/p>\n

His positive update will come as a relief to fans. It was his first game back after serving a one-match suspension for picking up five bookings this season.<\/p>\n

Prior to that, he was hit with a seven-game ban for the use of an alleged racial slur towards team-mate Son Heung-min<\/a> during a TV interview in Uruguay.<\/p>\n

It remains unclear as to the injury Bentancur suffered and how long he could be out of action for Tottenham.<\/p>\n

Tottenham Take Early Advantage In Semi-Final<\/h3>\n

The health update provided by Rodrigo Bentancur will be a positive for Tottenham fans. Despite the midfielder’s injury Tottenham went on to hand Liverpool<\/a> just their second defeat of the season in all competitions.<\/p>\n

Lucas Bergvall netted an 86th minute winner for Spurs. However, there was arguments over whether he should have picked up a second yellow card just moments before.<\/p>\n

Tottenham will look to defend their lead and book their place at Wembley in the second-leg which takes place on February 6 at Anfield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
