Moise Kean rushed to hospital after collapsing on pitch as distressed Fiorentina team-mates and opposition race to help
EX-PREMIER LEAGUE star Moise Kean was rushed to hospital after collapsing on the pitch in distressing scenes.
The incident occurred during Fiorentina’s Serie A clash with Verona today.
Midway through the second half Kean fell to the ground moments after he was involved in a three-way collision with Verona duo Pawel Dawidowicz and Diego Coppola.
Kean had been grappling to take possession of the ball in front of Coppola before being pushed towards the ground.
Dawidowicz was running back to try and win the ball himself and was unable to wrestle his momentum from seeing his knee clash into the head of Kean.
The 24-year-old was left with a big gash above his left eye.
Play was stopped as he received treatment from Fiorentina medical staff, who were apparently able to patch him up with a black bandage wrapped around his head as he returned to the pitch.
However, moments after he was introduced the striker fell to the floor again.
There were a worrying moments when he was immobile on the pitch as players from both teams signalled for a stretcher of ambulance to come on to the pitch.
The former Everton star was placed in a neck brace before being lifted into an ambulance inside the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.
Reports in Italy say Kean is conscious and has been rushed to hospital.
