He immediately put his hands to his head and lay on the ground while being treated by medical staff.

Despite suffering a cut to his forehead, he was bandaged up and remarkably played on.

But the Colombian fell to the ground 25 minutes later and players looked horrified as he was carried off on a stretcher and taken to hospital.

Concerned fans tweeted messages of support to the Napoli ace.

Another said: "Praying for David Ospina's quick recovery."

A Napoli fan group page blasted the club for allowing Ospina to continue after the initial injury.
