Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood was taken off on a stretcher after suffering a serious injury during the 1-1 draw with West Ham.
The incident happened in the 22nd minute when he collided with Nikola Vlasic following a 50-50 challenge.
Westwood came off worse and suffered a horrific leg injury which left him needing medical attention for several minutes.
Vlasic was in an emotional state and had to be consoled by team-mates, who also looked shaken by the incident.
Westwood was eventually stretchered off in the 30th minute and replaced by Josh Brownhill.
Burnley caretaker manager Mike Jackson confirmed to Sky Sports in his post-match interview that Westwood had been taken to hospital.
‘He has gone to hospital and they are having a look at it at this moment in time,’ he said.
