Jesse Derry made his Premier League debut for Chelsea in their clash with Nottingham Forest on Monday, but the English teenager's afternoon was cut short after a worrying head injury.
Incident Details
Derry clashed heads with Forest's Zach Abbott in the closing stages of the first half. Chelsea were awarded a penalty following the incident, but Derry remained on the ground and needed immediate medical attention.
After a stoppage lasting several minutes, the 19-year-old was stretchered off while receiving a round of applause from fans at Stamford Bridge.
Match Context
Chelsea were 2-0 down when Derry was forced off, and they failed to immediately reduce the deficit as Cole Palmer's subsequent penalty was saved by Matz Sels.
The full extent of Derry's injury is not yet known, but the club will hope for a speedy recovery for the promising youngster.
