Rodrigo Bentancur has been pictured back at home with his family after collapsing in worrying scenes during Tottenham's win against Liverpool on Wednesday night. Bentancur fell to the ground unchallenged during the first half of the Carabao Cup semi-final tie at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and sustained concussion.

The 27-year-old received oxygen on the pitch and was treated by medical staff during an eight-minute stoppage, before being taken to hospital. Uruguay international Bentancur will miss the next fortnight and three matches in total due to Spurs' need to adhere to the Premier League's strict concussion protocols.

He took to social media in the early hours of Thursday morning to reassure supporters concerned for his wellbeing, saying he was 'all good'. Two days on from the incident, his fiancee Melany La Banca confirmed he was back at home and shared a touching family photo on her Instagram story.
