West Ham Goalkeeper Fabianski Stretchered Off

West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was taken off the field on a stretcher during the team's 1-0 victory against Southampton after suffering a head injury from a collision with Nathan Wood. The match was paused for nearly eight minutes while Fabianski received medical attention, including oxygen and a neck brace, before being replaced by Alphonse Areola. Southampton's goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale showed sportsmanship by rushing to check on Fabianski, prompting applause from the crowd as he was carried off.

Manager Julen Lopetegui provided positive updates on Fabianski's condition post-match, alleviating initial fears about his health.
