The former Everton forward left the field in a neck brace on a stretcher after collapsing on the pitch.
There were major concerns for the health of former Everton striker Moise Kean on Sunday afternoon. The Italian was stretchered off the field and taken to hospital after collapsing on the pitch for Fiorentina.

Kean was involved in a nasty clash during his side’s meeting with Hellas Verona, as an opposition player inadvertently kneed him in the head. He later returned to the field with a bandaged head after the collision left a cut above his eye.
However, shortly after his return Kean was seen collapsing to the ground off the ball, sparking a concerned reaction from his team-mates, opponents and medical staff.
