Henriques and Burns appeared to clash heads as they went for a chance against Sussex at Arundel on England's south coast. British media reported that Burns was even unconscious for close to five minutes on the field and has a cut on his face.
Three ambulances made their way on to the outfield, as well as club medical staff.
Henriques, who tried to stand, left the field on a stretcher and gave a thumbs-up sign to the crowd. He is believed to have lost a couple of his teeth and has a broken jaw.
