Postecoglou: Bentancur back home after concussion

ODN

Ange Postecoglou has revealed Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is back home and doing fine after his sickening head injury during Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie with Liverpool. Bentancur was substituted in the 15th minute after he required lengthy treatment having appeared to headbutt the floor from a corner after six minutes. Postecoglou confirmed Bentancur is now going through concussion protocols, which rules him out of Sunday’s trip to non-league club Tamworth in the FA Cup third round. Report by Covellm.
