Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has assured fans that he is fine after suffering a worrying head injury in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea.
Bailly suffered a cut to the head during the first-half at Wembley in a collision with centre-back partner Harry Maguire, which saw the 26-year-old receive treatment for 11 minutes on the pitch before being carried off on a stretcher.
The Ivory Coast international was taken to hospital for treatment but has since been discharged and he has provided an update for fans and thanked them for their well wishes.
"Thank you for all the messages of support," Bailly tweeted. "I am ok, it was just a scare. I feel the pain of yesterday’s defeat even more. But we have to get back up and refocus on the two big games we have this week.#Thanks."
The tweet was accompanied with a love heart emoji and a photograph of Bailly doing the thumbs up.
Despite the good news, Bailly remains a doubt for Wednesday penultimate Premier League fixture against West Ham United, which would leave United with just two senior centre-backs for the match, with Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe also sidelined.
If Bailly is ruled out then 18-year-old Teden Mengi could be promoted to the substitutes bench after training with the first team in recent weeks and travelling with the squad for the Aston Villa fixture earlier this month.
