Como midfielder Nico Paz was taken to hospital for evaluation after sustaining a worrying head injury during his side's 2-0 Serie A victory over Genoa. The Argentina international suffered a clash of heads in the first half and complained of significant vision issues, prompting manager Cesc Fabregas to substitute him as a precaution.

The 21-year-old was performing well before suffering a heavy clash of heads with Genoa defender Alessandro Marcandalli during the first half.
