It was a horrific scene at the King Power Stadium earlier today, August 19, when Rodrigo Bentancur of Tottenham Hotspur appeared to have collided with a Leicester City player during a Premier League game.
After the collision which took place halfway into the second half of the encounter, players from both teams waited restlessly, and the spectators went quiet as the medical team attended to the player who was helplessly lying on the pitch.
The medical team had to use oxygen to keep Rodrigo Bentancur alive before they carried him on a stretcher off the field for further medical attention.
Futballnews gathered that Rodrigo Bentancur was able to regain consciousness after receiving medical attention on the pitch and was able to sit up before he was carried away on a stretcher.
