Rodrigo Bentancur has provided an update after collapsing during Tottenham’s 1-0 win over Liverpool in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semifinal on Wednesday.

The Spurs midfielder fell to the ground unchallenged while attempting to meet a corner kick in the 14th minute of the match. The incident led to a significant stoppage before Bentancur was taken to the hospital for further evaluation.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou shared an initial update following the match, stating:
“My understanding is that he was conscious when he got to the dressing room. We took him to the hospital to get checked. It was a worrying moment, but hopefully, he will be OK from what I know.”

In the early hours of Thursday, Bentancur took to Instagram to reassure fans, writing: “All good, guys. Thank you for the messages. Congratulations to the boys on the victory.”

The win was secured by Lucas Bergvall’s late goal.

The second leg of the semifinal will take place on February 6 at Anfield.
