Everton defender Michael Keane was taken to hospital after clashing heads with team-mate Idrissa Gueye in Saturday's draw with Bournemouth.

The England international was taken off on a stretcher in injury time of the 2-2 draw at the Vitality Stadium following a delay of approximately six minutes.

The 25-year-old centre-half was given oxygen on the pitch after the collision in the air with Gueye left him motionless on the pitch.

After the game Everton manager Marco Silva confirmed: "He went to the hospital. I don't have more updates about the situation.
