Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou says midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur will miss the next fortnight after he sustained concussion during the side's win against Liverpool on Wednesday.The Uruguay international fell to the ground unchallenged from a corner kick as he stooped to head the ball during the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg in north London. Bentancur, who received oxygen on the pitch, was taken to hospital after the match. Postecoglou has now confirmed that Bentancur sustained a concussion from the incident and will miss the next four matches as the club must follow the Premier League's concussion protocols. 
"All good. He's back home and he's fine. He is feeling good," Postecoglou said."Thankfully, it looks like a concussion and nothing more than it.""Obviously, you follow the protocols now and it's a couple of weeks where you have to make sure everything is okay."Spurs travel to National League side Tamworth in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday (12.30pm GMT).Postecoglou's side play four times in the next fortnight. Tottenham travel to rivals Arsenal on 15 January and relegation-threatened Everton on 19 January in the Premier League, before a trip to Hoffenheim in the Europa League on 23 January.
