Chelsea's Premier League meeting with Nottingham Forest was delayed for over 10 minutes toward the end of the first half after a horror collision between Forest's Zach Abbott and Chelsea debutant Jesse Derry.
Both players were taken off the field as Chelsea and Forest used concussion substitutions, but it was Derry who was the worst-affected of the two players as he received treatment for a lengthy period of time before being taken off on a stretcher.
