Everton defender Ben Godfrey was taken to hospital after suffering a fracture to his leg in the Premier League game against Chelsea on Saturday evening.
Godfrey, 24, attempted to make a last-ditch tackle on Kai Havertz after Everton gave the ball away. The England international cleanly took the ball, but his right ankle got trapped underneath his body at the point of impact. Any Chelsea goal would've been disallowed as replays showed the ball had already gone out of play.
Godfrey appeared to be in agony as team-mate Jordan Pickford called for the stretcher. A lengthy delay followed as Godfrey received oxygen. It's believed he was taken to hospital after being stretchered off across the pitch to the car park exit, not the dressing room. Mason Holgate was brought on to replace the stricken defender.
