EVERTON star Iliman Ndiaye left the field in tears after picking up an injury against Liverpool.
The 24-year-old appeared to hurt his knee after accidentally booting the ground before making contact with the ball.

Ndiaye immediately fell to the ground and medics rushed onto the pitch to attend to him.
There was a four minute delay to the game as the attacking midfielder received treatment.
A devastated Ndiaye trudged off the field, bursting into tears and hiding his face in his shirt.
Team-mates Idrissa Gueye and Abdoulaye Doucoure both rushed over to console him.
Ndiaye was also applauded by Everton fans as he limped down the tunnel.
The Senegalese ace was eventually replaced by Jack Harrison 25 minutes into the Merseyside derby with the score 1-1.
There was concern for Ndiaye from the TNT Sports commentary box, with Ally McCoist saying: “I think Dominik Szoboszlai might have caught Ndiaye and that is what knocks him off balance.
“He kicks the floor. He looks like he may just have tweaked his knee.”
Rio Ferdinand was equally worried, adding: “Sometimes you just know the severity of the injury when it is your own body.
“You just hope the injury isn’t as bad as it seems right now.”
