Robbie Brady lost two teeth in a nasty clash of heads with team-mate Gary O'Neil in Norwich's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Tuesday night.

The 24-year-old was going for a header before colliding with the midfielder, leaving a bloodied gash on O'Neil's forehead.

Boss Alex Neil, who also saw Alex Tettey substituted with a first half injury, said O'Neil required stitches to his forehead after the incident.

"Gary has a nasty gash and needs a few stitches, Robbie's lost two teeth and Alex is getting an x-ray on his leg," Neil said.
