Ange Postecoglou has revealed Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is “conscious and communicating” after a sickening head injury in their 1-1 draw at Leicester.

Bentancur left the pitch on a stretcher after he fell to the ground and appeared to smash his head into the turf following a James Maddison corner in the 71st minute of the Premier League match.
