Players from both sides in the Ligue 1 match looked devastated as they crowded round in concern.

Gomes appeared to have been knocked out in the incident after just quarter of an hour.

And he was eventually taken off on a stretcher - to applause from all round the Stade de Reims.

Fans of both clubs chanted the name of the former England Under-21 star.

And while the 23-year-old was being treated, Lille officials on the sidelines looked distraught.

He was taken to hospital as the game was halted for 34 minutes in all.

The Old Trafford academy product, who won 18 England Under-21 caps, left United for Lille four years ago.
