DS hurt ribs - need to be checked?

12yo DS got kicked in the chest a few hours ago (on a trampoline by accident) he came home looking very pale and complaining of bad chest pain - it seems to have got worse as the evening has gone on and he's now very upset. I'm guessing he's bruised/cracked/broken a rib?

NHS online just says rest and pain killers but not sure if this should be looked at as nothing much could be done anyway?

I’d get him checked out. If he’s broken a rib he will Need to be careful with activities for a few weeks, no trampolining or contact sports in case it gets worse by another accident - punctures a lung for example.
