Kean head injury

Kean’s face collided with Pawel Dawidowicz’s knee as he fell while battling for the ball in the 58th minute.

The former Everton, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus forward continued playing after receiving treatment on the sidelines.

However, in the 64th minute, he suddenly lost his balance and collapsed to the turf.

Players from both teams immediately signaled for the medical team, who rushed onto the pitch.

Kean was taken off on a stretcher and was seen wearing a neck brace before being taken to hospital.

Kean sustains head trauma

Kean’s mother club provided an updated about his hospitalization.

“Moise Kean, during the match against Verona, suffered a head trauma. [He] is in hospital for tests,” Fiorentina said.

Fortunately, Kean has been discharged from the hospital.

Fiorentina lost 1-0 after Antoine Bernede scored for the hosts in the fifth minute of added time.

The Italian is currently the second-top scorer in Serie A this season with 15 goals.

It was Fiorentina’s second major health scare this season, following midfielder Edoardo Bove’s collapse on the pitch against Inter Milan in December.

Bove underwent successful surgery after the incident and had a removable defibrillator fitted to prevent fatal cardiac arrest.
