Sunderland's Corry Evans stretchered off after horror collision in draw with Wycombe as Sky Sports refuse to show replay
SUNDERLAND star Corry Evans was stretchered off against Wycombe following a horror head collision.
The Northern Ireland midfield crashed into a teammate in Saturday's thrilling League One clash, which ended 3-3.
And after receiving lengthy medical treatment on the field, including oxygen, Black Cats skipper Evans was carried off for further examinations.
The incident left TV viewers shocked, with those inside the stadium visibly concerned.
And Sky Sports, who were televising the game live, refused to show replays of Evans' injury.
Evans, 31, is the younger brother of Leicester star Jonny, and only joined Sunderland on a free transfer from Blackburn in July.
But speaking after the game, Sunderland boss Lee Johnson provided a positive update on his star man.
Johnson declared: "Yeah, he's good. The report is back but I haven't seen it myself yet.
