Eric Bailly breaks silence after head injury against Chelsea

Manchester United centre-back Eric Bailly has assured fans that his head injury sustained in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final loss to Chelsea was not as bad as first feared.

The Ivory Coast international was taken to hospital after a clash of heads with back-line partner Harry Maguire at Wembley in the first half.

Chelsea defeated Manchester United 3-0.

"Thank you for all the messages of support," the 26-year-old wrote on Twitter. "I am OK, it was just a scare. I feel the pain of yesterday's defeat even more.

"But we have to get back up and refocus on the two big games we have this week."
