Varane forced off with a blow to the head

Following their heroics against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League midweek, Real Madrid faced Eibar in La Liga but were dealt a blow in the first half.

Varane jumped up for a ball with Eibar's Garcia and their heads collided. Both players ended up with cuts to their head but the Madrid defender came off worse.

The referee had to stop play for a few minutes so that treatment could be administered, but it was insufficient for the Frenchman to recover, with his dizzy figure having to be replaced by Nacho.

As Varane left the field, a prominent bump had already appeared on the side of his head, with the player now a doubt for Madrid's next league match against Girona depending on the severity of his concussion.
