West Ham teenager George Earthy was taken to hospital after suffering a horror head injury just two minutes into his Premier Leaguedebut.
The 19-year-old had just come on as a substitute when he collided with team-mate Edson Alvarez in the middle of the field.
Earthy fell to the ground awkwardly and appeared to have been knocked out cold, sparking worrying scenes as medics and team-mates rushed to help the stricken youngster.
After receiving treatment for eight minutes, Earthy was carried off on a stretcher. He was conscious when he was taken out of the London Stadium in an ambulance around 20 minutes after full-time.
The Hammers said: “West Ham United can confirm George Earthy will undergo an assessment in a London hospital this evening following the incident which saw him stretchered off during today’s Premier League fixture against Fulham.
