Speaking to the Lancashire Telegraph, Mowbray said that Evans is suspected to have suffered a broken nose and a broken cheekbone is also a possibility. He said:

“He has gone to hospital. The doctor said it was a suspected broken nose and a possible broken cheekbone. He had an oxygen mask on as he came past the dug-out, he was in a not too comfortable way.

“He’ll be fine, I’m sure. As a centre half, I had a few kicks to the face, broken noses, and they are sore to start with. But he’s a warrior. He’s a loss to us, an international footballer who plays how we like to, on the front foot, anticipates, gets our team looking forward on transition. He was a loss so early in the game for us.”
