Scotland starlet Ben Doak collapsed on the pitch this afternoon during Liverpool's UEFA Youth League clash with Sporting Lisbon.

The attacker, 17, was forced off in the game after jumping for a header, looking visibly unwell in the moments after a clash of heads. 

Liverpool's medics dealt with the incident urgently, as they raced onto the pitch to attend to the teenager.

After a lengthy delay to the game, Doak was helped back to his feet as he walked off the field of play. 

The former Celtic player was treated for around seven minutes on the pitch by medical staff.

He appeared groggy and in pain as he hobbled off the pitch, with the score between Liverpool and Sporting CP goalless.

The Ayrshire lad moved to Liverpool last year from Celtic's academy.

Glasgow Times:

He has been in superb form for the Anfield side's young guns, scoring four goals and notching as many assists in the UEFA Youth League.

His clear talent and hard work have earned the Scot a debut in the Reds' first team as well.

Doak has made five appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side. These came across a variety of competitions including the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

He has been called into the Scotland Under-21 squad for this month's double header against Sweden and Wales.

There have been growing calls for Steve Clarke to call him up to his national team A setup. That hasn't happened on this occasion, though.
