According to the latest reports, Moise Kean will be kept in hospital overnight for observation, but initial tests on the Fiorentina striker are reassuring.

The forward collapsed on the pitch during today’s 1-0 defeat to Verona at the Stadio Bentegodi.

He had sustained a nasty knock to the head during an accidental three-way collision with two Verona players and had several minutes of treatment on the touchline to patch up a cut to the eyebrow.

With a visibly swollen left eye, Kean got back on the pitch and a few minutes later crumpled to the ground barely conscious.

He was stretchered off with a neck brace and taken to the local hospital for tests in an ambulance.
