Ex-Premier League forward Moise Kean collapses on pitch as players rush to help in distressing scenes

Moise Kean was rushed to hospital after collapsing on the pitch during Fiorentina's loss to Hellas Verona.

The former Premier League striker was stretchered off in worrying scenes at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.

Concerned players rushed over to Kean before medical staff treated him on the pitch.

The Italian had fallen to the ground during the second half after a collision with Verona pair Pawel Dawidowicz and Diego Coppola.

Kean was accidentally kneed in the head by Dawidowicz as he fell to the floor whilst grappling for possession.

The incident left the 24-year-old with a gash above his left eye, with play stopped whilst he received treatment.

He then returned to the pitch only to fall to the ground with no one around him moments later.
