Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur was carried off on a stretcher in the 14th minute of his team’s Carabao Cup semifinal against Liverpool on Wednesday after falling to the ground at a corner.
Medical staff immediately ran onto the field as the Uruguay international lay face down on the turf, with players from both teams looking concerned.
Spurs posted on X at half-time to say that Bentancur “is conscious, talking and will go to hospital for further checks.”
The 27-year-old had tried to head a ball that had been curled in from the right in the sixth minute.
Fans applauded as he was carried off the field, and Bentancur gave a thumbs up to the Spurs bench as he was carried off.
The injury happened with the score tied at 0-0 at the time in the first-leg match.
