Holloway grabbed the area but still managed to play almost 30 seconds after.
Holloway came to the bench and was checked almost immediately by trainers.
Eventually, Holloway was broken off the bench and put into an ambulance to go to a local hospital.

The Blues said Holloway is “alert and in a stable condition”.
