The winger was a substitute in the 0-0 draw as part of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

He violently clashed heads with George Williams in the final stages and appeared to be knocked out cold.

Mertens was on the ground for several minutes while medical staff checked his responses, although he appeared to be moving his arm when he was eventually stretchered off.

Napoli will be anxiously awaiting news on his condition.

It’s a particularly important problem right now, as the Partenopei have already lost Lorenzo Insigne for five months to a knee ligament injury.

The team also had to do without Walter Gargano for a month after he accidentally fractured his cheekbone in training.
