Everton defender Ben Godfrey has sustained a serious injury after tackling Kai Havertz in their Premier League opener against Chelsea at Goodison Park.
After Godfrey delivered a botched back pass to Jordan Pickford that appeared to go out of play, the Everton goalkeeper scrambled to keep the ball in inadvertently allowing Chelsea's Kai Havertz to pick up the ball in a dangerous position.
Godfrey scrambled back to tackle Havertz, but in doing so landed awkwardly on his planted foot and sustained a serious injury to his right ankle.
The seriousness of Godfrey's injury was immediately apparent, and the former Norwich defender was escorted off the pitch on a stretcher with Mason Holgate subbed on to replace him.
