Manchester United have been handed a fresh injury scare as defender Eric Bailly was involved in a nasty collision while playing for the Ivory Coast on Saturday night.
The 24-year-old suffered a heavy blow to the head while competing for the ball before falling to the ground.

Eric Bailly suffered an injury scare while on international duty with Ivory Coast
His worried team-mates run towards Bailly to help him, with one opening his mouth to check if he had swallowed his tongue during the incident.
Thankfully, the defender did not seem in too much pain from the unsavoury scenes and was soon back on his feet.
He was later substituted as a precaution.
It was a sour end to what had been a fine performance from the United defender for his national team up until that point.
Bailly had doubled his country’s advantage with a towering header from a corner as they defeated Rwanda 3-0 in their final Group H game as part of African Cup of Nations qualification.
