Rodrigo Bentancur to be kept away from Tottenham’s training ground until given the all-clear by club medics after worrying on-pitch collapse in win over Liverpool

Tottenham medical staff will make regular home checks on Rodrigo Bentancur over the coming days following his worrying on-pitch collapse on Wednesday night.

Bentancur will not be permitted back to the club’s training HQ until he is given the medical green light to return.

But Spurs doctors will remain in regular touch with their midfielder while he recovers from the concerning incident in the first half of the 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi final first-leg.

Bentancur fell to the floor with no-one around him in the first-half causing huge concern for his health.

The Uruguayan was subsequently taken to hospital for thorough medical examinations before returning home on Wednesday night.

He has provided a positive update on social media since the incident posting a photo of himself with his fiancée Melany La Banca with a message that read: ‘All good, guys! Thank you for the messages!!! Congratulations for the victory boys!!!’

The 27-year-old had needed treatment on the pitch for nine minutes after his collapse, before he was stretchered off to applause from both sets of supporters.

He could now face another spell on the sidelines, having already missed eight matches through suspension this season.

Bentancur was hit with a seven-game ban for making an alleged racial slur against Tottenham captain Son Heung-min during a TV interview in Uruguay.

He then sat out Spurs’ 2-1 defeat by Newcastle on Saturday after picking up his fifth booking of the season the previous week.

Tottenham return to action on Sunday when they face National League outfit Tamworth in the FA Cup.

They then travel across north London to take on Arsenal in a mouthwatering Premier League clash next Wednesday.
