Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has posted an update on his condition after suffering a worrying injury in his team's 1-0 win over Liverpool on Wednesday night.
Just five minutes into the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, Bentancur attempted a header at the near post following a Tottenham corner, but appeared to fall awkwardly and then lay motionless on the pitch.
There was instant concern for the 27-year-old as his teammates made frantic gestures for medics to come onto the field to provide treatment.
The medical response was swift and fans inside the stadium watched anxiously as Bentancur was treated for nine minutes before being carried off on a stretcher to applause from both groups of fans.
Totttenham later confirmed that the Uruguayan had been rushed to hospital for further scans, and Bentancur took to social media in the early hours of Thursday morning to reassure fans concerned about his well-being.
A smiling Bentancur posted a photo of himself with his long-term partner, Melany La Banca, along with the message: “All good guys! Thanks for the messages!!! Congratulations on the win guys!!! '

Rodrigo Bentancur needed long treatment after suffering a worrying injury on Wednesday
Doctors treated him for nine minutes before he was carried off on a stretcher to applause from both sets of supporters.
Bentancur has provided an update on his health from his hospital bed of him smiling with his long-term partner Melany La Banca while declaring that he is “everything fine.”
Bentancur's positive update will come as a relief to fans after needing prolonged treatment.
It was his first game back after serving a one-match suspension in Tottenham's weekend loss to Newcastle for picking up five bookings this season.
Before that, he had been handed a seven-match ban for using an alleged racial slur towards Tottenham captain Son Heung-min during a television interview in his homeland of Uruguay.
It's still unclear when he will return from his latest setback, but seeing him sitting up in bed and smiling is a welcome sight for his fans.
Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah also required medical attention after feeling unwell in the first half of Wednesday's game, leading to 11 minutes of stoppage time.
The second half came to life in the final 15 minutes as Spurs managed to gain a narrow lead heading into Anfield for next month's second leg.
Tottenham were denied a tight offside decision for the first time after Dominic Solanke thought he had put the hosts ahead.
Bentancur appeared unconscious on the pitch after his worrying fall.
He was given an oxygen mask before being stretchered out and taken to hospital.
But Bentancur has now posted a positive update on his condition after Lucas Bergvall scored the late winner for Tottenham on Wednesday night.
Spurs finally made the breakthrough in the 86th minute when Lucas Bergvall scored after excellent work from Solanke.
Liverpool were left furious after feeling Bergvall should have been sent off moments earlier for a foul on Kostas Tsimikas when he was already booked.
However, Bergvall remained on the field and reached the decisive moment of the match, to the joy of Tottenham and Bentancur.
