England star Alex Greenwood had to be carried off on a stretcher following a clash of heads in the Lionesses’ Nation’s League match with Belgium.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Manchester City defender was involved in a collision with\u00a0Jassina Blom during the first half.\u00a0 Greenwood was attended to by medics on the field for roughly 13 minutes before she left the pitch on a stretcher in a neck brace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was understandable concern for the 30-year-old among the spectators at the\u00a0King Power at Den Dreef Stadium as well as her England team-mates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
England boss Sarina Wiegman was eventually Greenwood with Chelsea’s Jess Carter\u00a0in the 32nd minute.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Blom also received treatment on the pitch and was able to continue with her head\u00a0bandaged up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alex Greenwood was involved in a nasty collision during England’s Nation’s League match<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Manchester City defender was attended to by medics on the pitch for roughly 13 minutes<\/p>\n
England had found themselves 1-0 down at the time of the incident following Laura De Neve’s opener for the home side after just nine minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, shortly after the resumption of play the Lionesses equalised through Lucy Bronze, who headed home from Chloe Kelly’s free-kick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The away side pressed home their advantage and went ahead six minutes later when Fran Kirby scored on her return to the international side following an ACL injury.<\/p>\n
But Belgium hit back during a length period of additional time thanks to an expert finish from skipper\u00a0Tessa Wullaert.<\/p>\n
