Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has given an update on Rodrigo Bentancur after the midfielder collapsed during Liverpool clash.

Bentancur was substituted in the first half of Spurs' Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool, as he appeared to knock himself unconcious following a corner.

The Uruguayan was stretchered off the field and replaced by Brennan Johnson after being deemed unfit to carry on.

Bentancur received treatment on the pitch for around 10 minutes, and while it was confirmed he was conscious following his withdrawal he was taken to hospital for 'further observations'.

Spurs went on to win the opening leg 1-0 thanks to a brilliantly taken goal from Lucas Bergvall, and will now look to finish the job at Anfield next month.

Ange provides Bentancur update

Ahead of their FA Cup tie with Tamworth, Postecoglou provided an update on Bentancur's condition and when he can be expected to return to the side.

"It looks like a concussion but nothing more than that," Ange said.

"He was in the hospital, obviously, and they did all of the tests in terms of checking, making sure everything is okay.

"And all good. He is back home. He is fine. He is feeling good. We'll obviously follow the protocols now. I think it is a couple of weeks where you have to make sure everything is okay."

Bentancur himself sent a message to supporters following the game, thanking them for their support as well as congratulating his side on the win

He wrote on Instagram: "All good, guys. Thank you for the messages. Congratulations for the victory boys!!!"

Bentancur has scored twice in the Premier League this season across nine starts after starting the season injured.

The 27-year-old is a key man for Spurs, and Postecoglou will probably be glad his side are only facing a side placed 16th in the National League this weekend.
