David Moyes admitted he was concerned about the injury suffered by star Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite in the Merseyside derby.<\/p>\n

The centre-back was stretchered off late in the heartbreaking 2-1 defeat<\/a> at Hill Dickinson Stadium<\/a> after crumpling to the ground following an innocuous tussle with Cody Gakpo.<\/p>\n

It was a devastating blow that took the wind out of Everton<\/a>, who went to lose in the final minutes of the 11 added on – some of which were due to the treatment required by Branthwaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Asked whether he had any news on the England international in the post-match press conference, Moyes<\/a> said: \u201cNo, but I am worried though.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate interview the Blues boss added: “Jarrad was probably the best player on the pitch at times today. I thought he played so well.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m worried it could be serious, but we\u2019ll need to wait and see.”<\/p>\n

Branthwaite\u2019s season has already been decimated by injury.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old missed the opening five months of the campaign with a hamstring problem that eventually required surgery.<\/p>\n

After picking himself up from turf following the collision with Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo he looked to the sky in anguish before collapsing.<\/p>\n

It was one of two potentially serious injuries in the game with Reds goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili also stretchered off.<\/p>\n

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot later said Mamardashvili had been taken to hospital after he was caught by Beto and Andy Robertson amid Everton\u2019s second-half equaliser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jarrad Branthwaite was stretchered off late on in Everton’s 2-1 Premier League Merseyside derby defeat to Liverpool at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":905826,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[10234,748,1785,393,1467,4884,1468,179,763,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-905825","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-barclays-premier-league","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-david-moyes","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-everton-fc","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-jarrad-branthwaite","15":"tag-liverpool","16":"tag-liverpool-fc","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116434450975985083","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=905825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905825\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/905826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=905825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=905825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=905825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
