At the end of the first matchday in the Premier League, Tottenham and Leicester City drew 1:1. But the result is of only marginal interest. The reason: a violent collision.
A violent collision briefly knocked football professional Rodrigo Bentancur unconscious and caused consternation in the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City. The midfielder collided with the head of opponent Abdul Fatawu after a corner kick in the 76th minute and, according to media reports, was knocked out. He was treated on the pitch for several minutes before he was able to sit down and was finally taken off the field on a stretcher. Photos show that the Uruguayan was bleeding from his head. The team used an oxygen mask.
Even before the final whistle in the 1-1 draw at the start of the Premier League season between the two teams, the all-clear had been given from the sidelines, British newspapers reported. However, Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou also said after the game: “We have to be very careful. The good news is that he is conscious and speaking.” The medical department must now take care of the player.
