Former Crystal Palace and Everton star Yannick Bolasie has suffered a nasty pancreas injury following a scary pitch collision in Brazil.

Bolasie immediately went down and clutched his stomach as medics ran onto the pitch. The DR Congo international was able to walk off the pitch, but couldn't carry on and later was sent to hospital.
It was then discovered he had suffered an injury to his pancreas and reports from Brazil claim he is set to spend several weeks in recovery. A full timeline for his return has not yet been set.
