Tottenham star Rodrigo Bentancur stretchered off pitch after receiving treatment for several minutes

Rodrigo Bentancur has been stretchered off in worrying scenes during Tottenham's Carabao Cup clash with Liverpool.

The midfielder received treatment for over eight minutes after going down inside the penalty area.

Bentancur had appeared to jump unchallenged for a header at the near post.

However, he was left stricken on the turf as his teammates rushed over to him.

talkSPORT commentator Sam Matterface said: "He went to glance the ball and landed flat on his face."

Scott Minto added: "As the corner came in, he's tried to flick it on and he's landed horribly."

Play was paused at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the club's medical staff attended to the Uruguayan.

After eight minutes of receiving treatment, Bentancur was stretchered off the field with fans from both clubs applauding the player off.

Brennan Johnson was brought on as his replacement.
