Fear for Rodrigo Bentancur during Tottenham-Liverpool, first leg of the semi-final of the Carabao Cup or English League Cup.

The former Juve midfielder, following a corner kick, went to take off in the Liverpool area and even managed to flick the ball, but then collapsed to the ground as if he had lost consciousness. Realizing the seriousness of the situation once the action was over, the referee stopped the game amid general concern.

The emergency services immediately entered the field, carrying the Uruguayan out on a stretcher, also using an oxygen mask. Fortunately, Bentancur gave the crowd a thumbs up. The match restarted regularly but the stoppage was long, so much so that the referee then signaled 11 minutes of added time in the first half.

According to the BBC, the player is conscious, he speaks, but will be taken to hospital for tests. An episode, that of Betancur, which brought to mind what recently happened to Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove in the suspended and then postponed match against Inter.
