Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has said midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is "back home and feeling good" after being carried off on a stretcher during Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg win against Liverpool.

Bentancur fell after attempting a header in the first half.

Speaking to club media on Friday, Postecoglou said: "He was in hospital and they did all the tests, just checking and making sure everything seems OK and yes, all good," he said.

"He is back home and he is feeling good.

"We will obviously follow the protocols now and it is a couple of weeks where you need to make sure everything is OK. It looks like a concussion but nothing more than that.

"It was distressing. Pedro Porro was the first one there and knew it was a distressing situation. I thought the lads and the medical team handled it well and thankfully all good."

Bentancur posted on his Instagram account on Thursday to tell fans he was "all good" following the incident.
