Breaking News: Graham Potter Provides Crucial Update on Cesar Azpilicueta’s Injury
Cesar Azpilicueta, the captain of Chelsea, had to be substituted during Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Southampton at Stamford Bridge.
Azpilicueta and Sekou Mara engaged in a challenge for the ball when Azpilicueta was struck in the head by a high boot.
Graham Potter, the manager of Chelsea, later gave an update on the player, saying he is awake and in the hospital.
He is in the hospital, and he is conscious, Potter told Sky Sports.
We are keeping an eye on him and are worried about him, but the hospital is the best place for him. It was a horrible incident.
“I think he was unconscious at one point so it was worrying for everyone. It was accidental but still it was a kick in the face and you can see how bad it was.”
