LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Argentina goalkeeper Emi Martinez was carried off on a stretcher after receiving about 10 minutes of treatment following a collision at a free kick while playing for Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.
Martinez came out to meet a cross into the area and collided with Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite midway through the second half at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
While Branthwaite continued to play after a concussion test, Martinez had to come off the field because of an apparent head injury and was replaced by Mike Penders.
Medical staff from both teams attended to Martinez, who — British broadcaster TNT Sports reported — was being taken to the hospital. Martinez was seen moving his arms as he was being taken off the field.
The score was 1-0 to Chelsea at the time.
