BREAKING: England's Alex Greenwood stretchered off after sickening head injury in clash against Belgium

England star Alex Greenwood had to be stretchered off following a clash of heads in the Lionesses' Nation's League match with Belgium.

The Manchester City defender was involved in a collision with Jassina Blom during the first half. Blom was able to continue, while Greenwood was attended to by medics on the field for roughly 13 minutes before she left the pitch on a stretcher in a neck brace.

There was understandable concern for the 30-year-old among the spectators at the King Power at Den Dreef Stadium as well as her England team-mates.
