Loftus-Cheek carried off after collision

England midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek was carried off on a stretcher with a head injury during AC Milan's 1-0 defeat by Parma.

He collided with Parma goalkeeper Edoardo Corvi when challenging for a cross early in the Serie A game at the San Siro on Sunday.

Loftus-Cheek's head and neck were put in a brace before he was taken off.

Sky Italia reported that he broke his jaw and several teeth.

A significant injury could affect Loftus-Cheek's chances of making England's squad for the World Cup, which starts in June.
