An accidental clash of heads during a challenge for the ball in Liverpool's box during the Women's Super League match left the 32-year-old in need of treatment and she was subsequently substituted as the Reds went on to win 2-1.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Liverpool have <a href="https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/gemma-bonner-injury-update" target="_blank">issued an update</a> about the England international's condition, with club doctor Amelia Woodhouse saying: "Gemma lost consciousness temporarily and suffered a facial laceration during the incident. After treatment she was able to walk off the pitch with the assistance of medical staff and taken into the medical room at Leigh for further assessment. She was attended to by the doctor and received a number of stitches around her lip for the laceration. She is now following concussion protocols under the supervision of the club medical team."

WHAT LIVERPOOL SAID

Bonner has been a key player for the Anfield club this season, making 10 WSL appearances and scoring one goal. Liverpool are now on a three-game unbeaten run in the English league and Sunday's win leaves them in fifth place, seven points behind leaders Chelsea.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Last week's matches were the last in the WSL before the end of the year. The league will now go into a winter break, with Liverpool next in action against Bristol City in the Women's FA Cup before they return to WSL action with a game against Manchester City.
