West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek needed stitching up by a plastic surgeon following the horrific kick to the face he suffered against Everton.
Soucek was caught accidentally by the full force of Toffees striker Salomon Rondon's studs as they challenged for the ball.
The Czech Republic international was left with nasty cuts near his eye and on his nose and lip following the incident during West Ham's 1-0 win at Goodison Park.
