Two Brentford players left with blood pouring out of heads after collision
Brentford players Rico Henry and Mathias Jensen were involved in a graphic clash of heads during the Bees’ Premier League encounter against Wolves.
The injuries the pair sustained were so bad that manager Thomas Frank was forced into making a double substitution.
Jensen was seen leaving the field of play with blood dripping from his face, in harrowing scenes.
The two went up for the ball at the same time and ended up colliding with one another on the 20 minutes at the Community Stadium.
The game had to be stalled for around five minutes as medics ran to the pitch and tended to the pair.
It was deemed they needed to be replaced and substitutes Mads Roerslev and Shandon Baptiste came on.
Just six minutes later, the game was halted once again as a drone flew over the pitch.
The referee took both teams off as per safety protocols and the game was stopped for 18 minutes.
The Bees have lost their last three Premier League matches and are looking more and more like they could be dragged back into a relegation battle.

After Brentford’s 3-1 loss to Manchester United on Wednesday, the Danish boss – who has just signed a fresh deal to keep him with the Bees until 2025 – said that the northwest club were lucky to get their win.
Frank was stunned his side didn't claim all three points though and said United deserved nothing more than a draw at best.
“I know goals change the momentum of games but if you look at the overall performance for 90 minutes there can only be one winner and that’s us. They only deserve a draw," he said via Manchester Evening News.
"I’m unbelievably proud of the team and the players. The way we absolutely destroyed Manchester United in the first half is very impressive.
“We were aggressive, front foot, wanting to play positively and take the ball forward. It’s a miracle they were not 2-0 down at half-time, De Gea did a fine job, he was by far the best Manchester United player today.”
