The shot-stopper seemed to be knocked unconscious for a moment in the final minutes of the Serie A opener at the Stadio Bentegodi.

He was knocked out during a collision with Cristiano Ronaldo, for which Mario Mandzukic’s goal was disallowed.

Sorrentino was stretchered off and his replacement Andrea Seculin immediately conceded the decisive goal from Federico Bernardeschi.

The 39-year-old’s wife posted a picture on Instagram with Sorrentino in hospital, where he was wearing a neck brace.

According to the latest reports, there is a fracture to his nose, but so far tests for head trauma have come back negative.
