As he limped off the pitch at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, he appeared confused and his face was seriously damaged.

Within minutes after the collision, he appeared confused and his eye and cheek were swelled, all of which pointed to a likely fracture.

He’s also no stranger to head injuries, having been knocked out last season after landing awkwardly and smacking the back of his head on the turf.
