Tammy Abraham has been taken to hospital with suspected internal injury after he landed awkwardly in Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Valencia on Wednesday.
The England striker landed awkwardly on Ezequiel Garay at the end of the first half and was in obvious pain as he limped off the pitch.
He had to be taken off the field on a stretcher before proceeding straight to the hospital instead of receiving treatment in the dressing room.
“That’s a sore one. He’s in a lot of pain. Tammy is not the type of lad, it will take a big incident for him not to play, he loves playing football, “commentator was heard saying.
“If it’s a hip injury then it’s going to be complicated but you just hope it’s not internal like a problem with his kidney or something like that but he did look in absolute agony,” another commentator said.
The match eventually ended in a 2-2 draw with Carlos Soler and Daniel Wass scoring for hosts Valencia as Mateo Kovacic and Christian Pulisic save Chelsea.
