Vincent Kompany shares frustration at Burnley's failure to turn improved display...

The 27-year-old is spending the season with Danish top flight side AGF, who are in action against Odense this evening.

During the game, the goalkeeper took a knee to the head from Odense’s Bashkim Kadrii and required medical attention.

The Northern Ireland international was able to walk off the pitch by himself but was then taken to hospital.

In a statement, AGF say the stopper has suffered a broke nose, as well as a “deep gash” in his head.

AGF wrote: “Our goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell was taken straight to hospital for treatment after sustaining a head injury in the second-half of today's game.

“After a violent clash at the start of the second half, Bailey Peacock-Farrell was taken straight to hospital for treatment. He is still there with a broken nose, a deep gash in his head and a concussion.

“Bailey is doing well under the circumstances.

“There is no doubt that immediate replacement was the right decision. He was also taken straight to hospital as his injury was so bad it could not be treated at the stadium.”

Peacock-Farrell has made 14 appearances in all competitions for AGF this season, with one of those coming in the Europa League.

This incident comes barely a month after Michael Mellon, another Burnley player out on loan, was also rushed to hospital with a similar injury.

The striker required urgent medical attention following a horror clash of heads with St Johnston’s Liam Gordon.

The 20-year-old was thankfully able to make a full recovery and has since returned to action, scoring at Hampden Park in Dundee’s recent 7-1 defeat to Celtic.

But Dundee boss Tony Docherty was infuriated by the incident, claiming it could have endangered Mellon’s life.

“Michael is a top boy in our team and I’m concerned for him because he took a really bad blow to the back of the head.

“Luckily we have a brilliant doctor here, Dr McCormack, who didn’t pay any attention to the referee and ran on the pitch. He recognised what happened."
