This incident saw Westwood receive approximately ten minutes of treatment on the pitch before being carried off the field on a stretcher and taken to hospital.

Westwood was then replaced by Josh Brownhill in the match ending with the score 1-1.
"I haven't seen that incident again but they told me Nikola is not anywhere near Westwood and there is nothing to worry about. If you are directly involved in a duel that injures someone it can upset you. But that was not the case with Vlasic and him. fine," said West Ham coach David Moyes.
Burnley have provided the latest information regarding Westwood's condition. In an official statement they confirmed their player is in better condition, but must continue to undergo recovery with specialist doctors.
"He is fine with the club doctor and will be examined by specialists in the coming days," Burnley said in a statement on their official Twitter account.
