Rodrigo Bentancur pictured back home as he poses in touching family photo two days on from worrying on-pitch collapse during Tottenham’s win over Liverpool

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.

In the picture, a smiling Bentancur can be seen kissing his daughter on the forehead.

The midfielder and La Banca first met in 2014 during his spell in Argentina at Boca Juniors and have been together since 2015. Their daughter is two years old.

Bentancur’s expected return date is against Hoffenheim in the Europa League on January 23, meaning he will sit out against non-league Tamworth in the FA Cup on Sunday and Arsenal and Everton in the Premier League.

As revealed by Mail Sport earlier this week, Tottenham medical staff will make regular home checks on Bentancur over the coming days and he will not be permitted to return to the club’s training base until he is given the green light.

‘Good news, thankfully,’ said Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou. ‘He was in the hospital, obviously, and did all the tests in terms of just checking, making sure that everything was okay. He’s back home, and he’s fine.

‘He’s feeling good. We will obviously follow the protocols now. I think it’s a couple of weeks where you’ve just got to make sure that everything’s okay, but, thankfully, it looks like a concussion but nothing more than that.

‘It was distressing, you saw especially Pedro [Porro], he was the first one there, and knew it was a distressing situation. I thought the lads handled it well and our medical team handled it well, and, as I say, thankfully all good.’

Bentancur has already missed eight games through suspension this season.

He will hit with a seven-game ban for making an alleged racial slur against Spurs captain Son Heung-min during a TV interview in Uruguay.

Bentancur also sat out Spurs’ 2-1 defeat by Newcastle last weekend after picking up his fifth booking of the campaign the previous week.
