Former Premier League star Moise Kean has collapse on field during Fiorentina’s clash with Hellas Verona on Sunday afternoon.
The Italian forward joined Fiorentina at the start of the season following spells at Juventus, Everton and Paris Saint-Germain, and has gone on to score 15 goals in Serie A this term.
However his most recent outing ended in distressing scenes, with Kean going down off the ball following a heavy collision.
While attempting to win back possession, Kean slipped and his head made contact with the knee of Pawel Dawidowicz while jostling for the ball with Diego Coppola.
He went down holding his face in clear discomfort, but was allowed to play on despite receiving lengthy treatment on the pitch from the Fiorentina medical staff.
On his return, the former Everton and PSG forward was seen sporting plasters on a cut above his left eye from the collision.
