Richarlison has told Everton fans he is "fine" after suffering a head injury against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup.
The Brazilian was floored in a collision with defender Eric Bailly, who clattered into the attacker with a flying challenge which appeared to be made worse after a push from Bruno Fernandes.
Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti described the incident as “dangerous” but says it was a “risk” for all players involved and Richarlison has now explained that he is not hurt.
"To everyone who sent messages and is worried - I'm fine," he posted on Twitter.
"It was more the fright and the image that was ugly.
"Bailly apologized to me later, and it's all right. Something that happens in the game.

"Thank you for the affection and concern of you guys."
Bizarrely, after the match which United won 2-0 with two late goals, Bailly posted a picture of the challenge on his Instagram page before later removing it and uploading the same image with a message reading: "I'm sorry for this post. I hope @Richarlison is good."
The centre-back then uploaded a screenshot of two direct messages Richarlison sent him in response to the Instagram story.
"No problem," Richarlison wrote.
"You are a very good defender. Thanks for the message."
Clearly, there are no hard feelings between the pair and Bailly himself again replied with: "I'm sorry, take care little brother you're the best."
