Everton winger Theo Walcott was taken to hospital for a precautionary assessment after suffering a head injury against Manchester City, but returned to Goodison Park shortly afterwards.
The 30-year-old was hit on the back of his head by a Raheem Sterling cross just three minutes into the game.
After a lengthy stoppage, Walcott was stretchered off and replaced by Alex Iwobi in the seventh minute.
Walcott was making his first Premier League start of the season for Everton after four previous substitute appearances.
Everton manager Marco Silva said he is already in our dressing room.
"He went to the hospital for a scan, but he did that, and now he is OK. He will go home, rest, and in the next few days we'll see, but now he is OK."
Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring for City after 24 minutes but Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised shortly after.
City eventually ran out 3-1 winners thanks to second half goals from Riyad Mahrez and Sterling.
Everton will travel to Turf Moor next for a Premier League fixture with Burnley on Saturday.
