Ex-Man Utd star Ashley Young suffers horror 'ripped neck' injury in Everton draw with Chelsea

<p>The ex-Manchester United star started as a right-back in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-vs-everton-cole-palmer-what-happened-blues-superstar-goes-missing-as-robert-sanchez-spares-enzo-maresca-s-blushes-in-goodison-park-stalemate/bltcbb230dc0cbcbf2b" target="_blank">Everton's goalless draw against Chelsea</a> on Sunday and was substituted in the 73rd minute as Seamus Coleman replaced him on the pitch. After the game, manager Sean Dyche confirmed that Young 'ripped his neck' during the game and was subbed off as a precaution.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to reporters, the Toffees boss said: "Youngy is suspended anyway but he ripped his neck then he did a brilliant header at the far stick. We had to take him off for both reasons - to make sure he was OK physically and was on a yellow card."</p>

WHAT SEAN DYCHE SAID

<p>The 39-year-old was already suspended for the upcoming Boxing Day clash against Manchester City after he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against the Blues. The Merseyside club will conduct medical tests to find out the degree of the player's injury and the exact time he will take to recover. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The former England international will hope that his injury is not too serious so that he can return to action at least before January 9 and take the field against <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ashley-young-18-year-old-son-tyler-fa-cup-everton/blt23e167706c7348b3" target="_blank">Peterborough United in the FA Cup where his 18-year-old son Tyler plays</a>.</p>
