• Midfielder taken off on stretcher against Liverpool
• Uruguayan thanks wellwishers from hospital

Tottenham’s Rodrigo Bentancur has provided a positive update on his health from hospital after a worrying collapse against Liverpool led to his removal from the pitch on a stretcher.

Bentancur collapsed under no challenge when hunting the ball at a corner in the first half. After lengthy treatment, he was manoeuvred carefully on to a stretcher and Spurs reported at half-time of the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg that the midfielder was conscious and talking.
