During the game, Digne attempted to protect the goal but accidentally fell on goalkeeper Martinez, who returned to the field after an unsuccessful attempt to move to Manchester United this summer.

At the moment of the collision, the player received a hit to the forehead from Martinez's leg, which required immediate medical intervention.

Doctors quickly came onto the field to assist the player, and cameras captured the large bruise that appeared above his right eyebrow.

The 32-year-old footballer was taken off the field for further medical examination but managed to return to the game while the score remained 0-0, finishing the match and keeping a 'clean' sheet in a goalless game.

Digne, who moved to Aston Villa from Everton in 2022, started the first two matches of the season with Unai Emery's team but found himself on the bench in the third week in favor of Ian Maatsen from Chelsea. After a 0-3 loss to Crystal Palace, he returned to the starting lineup for the match against Everton.

Thus, after this match, Digne has played 113 matches in the Premier League, having moved to England from Barcelona to Everton in 2018, and throughout his career has scored ten goals in all tournaments.

It is hoped that Digne has more bright matches ahead without injuries.
