🤕Not for the squeamish: the image that stunned the Premier League

The match between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest, which ended in a 1-3 away win, featured dramatic moments that went beyond the purely sporting side of things. The game was marked by its physicality, evident from the first half after a heavy collision between Josh Derry and Abbott left the young blue unconscious on his way to the hospital.

The violent clash left both players bloodied and dazed. After receiving medical treatment on the pitch, both had to be substituted. Later, the Englishman shared an image on social media of the cut, treated with several stitches, thanking fans for their support after the win.
