ENGLAND’S game against Uruguay featured a lengthy stoppage as Uruguayan defender Joaquín Piquerez was stretchered off with injury.
The defender went down OFF the pitch, clutching his ankle after being caught on the heel by a falling Noni Madueke.
But, the Palmeiras left-back, 27, then moved himself ONTO the pitch to receive treatment.
The medical staff were called onto the pitch by the referee, who then stretchered Piquerez off following a lengthy delay to the game.
Piquerez started the match at left back, with Matheus Olivera at centre-half instead of Atletico Madrid defender Jose Maria Gimenez.
But Gimenez, 31, replaced him after 16 minutes, with Olivera shifting to cover at left-back.
