Chelsea attacker Pedro has been taken to hospital with suspected concussion following a clash with Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina in Beijing.

The pair collided as Pedro chased a through-ball into the penalty area and Ospina came to clear midway through the first half of Chelsea's 3-0 victory at Bird's Nest Stadium.

The Spaniard looked groggy as he was immediately taken off after 29 minutes and was replaced by young French attacker Jeremie Boga.

Head coach Antonio Conte confirmed to ChelseaTV at full-time that he expected Pedro to be okay but was travelling to hospital for tests.

Pedro had captained the side from the start before Michy Batshuayi scored twice and Willian netted in a comprehensive win.
