Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur suffered an injury during the English League Cup semifinal match against Liverpool on Wednesday. The incident occurred in the 14th minute of the game when Bentancur fell to the ground at a corner.
Medical staff quickly responded to the situation as the Uruguay international remained on the turf. Both sets of players showed concern for Bentancur's well-being as he received medical attention.
The injury occurred as Bentancur attempted to head a ball that had been delivered into the box from the right side in the sixth minute of the match. The 27-year-old midfielder was subsequently carried off the field on a stretcher, with fans in attendance showing their support with applause.
At the time of the injury, the scoreline was 0-0 in the first-leg match between Tottenham and Liverpool. The outcome of the match was temporarily overshadowed by the unfortunate injury to Bentancur.
