The incident occurred when Bentancur butted heads with adversary Abdul Fatawu after a corner in the 76th minute, apparently losing consciousness as a result. Medical personnel tended to him on the field for a few minutes before he was able to rise from his position and was ultimately assisted off on a stretcher, sporting visible head injuries. Photos reveal Bentancur's wound.
Just prior to the final whistle during the 1-1 tie that marked the commencement of this season's Premier League, a hopeful mood seemed to linger from the sidelines, as reported in the British press.
