Carabao Cup match suspended for about 8′, the episode begins: corner kick, spin and fall. Spurs have said that the player is alert, but has been taken to hospital for checks
Fear for Rodrigo Bentancur during Tottenham-Liverpool of the Carabao Cup. The former Juve midfielder, following a corner kick, went to break away in the Liverpool area and even managed to clear the ball, but then collapsed disastrously to the ground as if he lost consciousness. Realizing the seriousness once the action was concluded, the referee stopped the game amid general concern.
From there, the rescue team entered the field and carried the Uruguayan out on a stretcher, also using an oxygen mask. Luckily Bentancur gave the audience a thumbs up. The match restarted regularly but the stop was long, so much so that the match director then signaled 11 minutes of injury time in the first half. The fact that the game has resumed gives us hope, but the scare was great.
