Rodrigo Bentancur, the scorer of Tottenham's only goal in the heavy defeat to Leicester, went off injured and in obvious pain. The midfielder hurt his knee in the 65th minute and went off in tears. He is a doubt for Tuesday's Champions League last 16 first leg against AC Milan.

It was not a great day at the office for Tottenham. They were well beaten 4-1 by Leicester in the Premier League and they also saw Rodrigo Bentancur go off injured. 

After having scored the only goal of the match, the Uruguayan went off with a left knee injury in the 65th minute. The footballer had to receive treatment on the field of play for three minutes before leaving in tears and in obvious pain. 

Just after the hour mark, the midfielder went to try and get the ball off Nampalys Mendy. He won the ball off him, but also hit his knee and the medical staff came on to treat him.

Tottenham have yet to comment on the player's problem and manager Antonio Conte could be without him for Tuesday's Champions League match with AC Milan.
