Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has provided an update on midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur condition. Which was sustained after suffering a concussion in the 1-1 draw with Leicester yesterday. It remains to be seen how serious the injury is. But the good thing is that he can at least respond to questions and answers clearly.
The game was halted for several minutes at the King Power Stadium. After the Uruguayan midfielder was tackled and eventually forced off with a concussion. UFABET
With Archie Gray coming on as his replacement.
Progress so far: Postecoglou reveals Bentancur is still aware of what happened, waiting to assess progress on Tuesday morning (local) to assess. Whether he will be ready to face Everton (24 Aug) or not?
“I don’t have much information, but what I do know is that he can stand up and communicate. So from what I’ve seen, it’s okay,” he told Sports Play.
“Actually, it’s just a headache. I’m leaving it to the medical team for now.”
“The important thing is that he is conscious and can communicate.”
“Did he get hit? I don’t know. Whenever it’s a head injury and you see a player go down. I think the sport is very careful these days about those kinds of things. You don’t really know what happened on the field, all you know is that he got hit in the head.”
“The overall performance of Bentancur and the other players is good, but it needs to bring me to the competition as a bridge to compete with the top teams.”
If Bentancur is not available, the team’s midfield options are Pape Sarr, Yves Bissouma, who will be spared internal punishment. Because of a clip showing him smoking laughing gas, and young Archie Gray, who is an alternative.
