Hopefully Robbie Brady is OK.
The Republic of Ireland player was involved in a sickening clash of heads during the 1-0 win over Georgia at the Aviva Stadium.
In the second-half, Shane Long headed the ball back across Georgia’s penalty area, and Brady attacked it. However, Solomon Kverkvelia also went for the ball and collided with the 24-year-old.
Brady was stretchered off the pitch wearing a neck brace, receiving a warm round of applause from the concerned crowd in Dublin.
The FAI have since tweeted saying that Brady was conscious in the dressing room. The Norwich player has been taken to hospital and received a scan as a precaution.
He’s unlikely to feature in Ireland’s game against Moldova on Sunday, and we’ll update you when we know more about his condition.
Robbie Brady is conscious in the dressing room. The medical team are taking every precaution possible. Thank you for your messages. #COYBIG

Guram Kashia, and James McClean, helped Brady following the collision.
The Georgia captain was alert to the situation and acted very quickly when Brady was laid-out following the horrible clash of heads.
A word of warning, some might find this footage distressing.
