Huffton Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 Any news? Looked to me like the poor kid was out cold before he hit the deck.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 Koeman said he is okay - will have a headache for a while but nothing more.
Asaint4ever Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 Koeman said he is okay - will have a headache for a while but nothing more. That's good news! Back for weds?
Lorne Malvo Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 That's good news! Back for weds? If it is anything like my missus, the headache will be ok in the morning so should be good for Weds.
Leicestersaint Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 Good luck Matt - hopefully you will be back soon.
Asaint4ever Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 If it is anything like my missus, the headache will be ok in the morning so should be good for Weds.
Saintandy666 Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 Didn't see the first half, so didn't see the injury. But if knocked on head and concussed aren't there rules regarding time you have to take off?
John Boy Saint Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 That's good news, I was sat in the Home fans and just watching the minutes tick by without his feet moving was a concern.
St Chalet Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 Didn't see the first half, so didn't see the injury. But if knocked on head and concussed aren't there rules regarding time you have to take off? http://www.thefa.com/my-football/head-injuries-in-football Based on this I'd be surprised to see him play against West Ham and probably will miss Liverpool. Bertrand back after that.
Saint_Ash Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 Yoshi performed admirably out of position so expect him on the left with Gardos in the middle Hopefully tobes back for Liverpool.
scotty Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 If it is anything like my missus, the headache will be ok in the morning so should be good for Weds. :lol:
davefoggy Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 I still think it was a red card. Get well soon Matt
Lighthouse Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 If it is anything like my missus, the headache will be ok in the morning so should be good for Weds. What if he mysteriously gets another one on Wednesday evening? I've known this to happen.
Yuki Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 Yoshi performed admirably out of position so expect him on the left with Gardos in the middle Hopefully tobes back for Liverpool. Was really pleased with his performance today, he showed his quality & adaption over the 95 minutes. Nice to see he has been praised by the Coach after the game. Yoku yatta, Maya.
SNSUN Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 If it is anything like my missus, the headache will be ok in the morning so should be good for Weds. I grind up paracetamol and put it in my wife's dinner. Doesn't seem to make a difference. All the best to Matt. It's bad luck to lose both your left backs let alone one. Even squad strength can't factor in that. IMO if Targett is out, I'd shift Clyne across to left back and use someone else on the right like Yoshida. Clyne has showed he's versatile enough to cope.
markr27 Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 I have been told that he was checked over in hospital, given the all-clear and later allowed home.
KK the 2nd Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 I was really worried it was a serious neck or back injury so good news.
rallyboy Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 The rules on concussion are very clear. You cannot take the field again for at least ten minutes if you are playing rugby for Wales, but if you are in goal for Spurs the ref won't restart the game until you feel up to it.
Snopper Posted 7 February, 2015 Posted 7 February, 2015 I have been told that he was checked over in hospital, given the all-clear and later allowed home. Excellent news. Thanks for posting the update.
Redslo Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 That's good news! Back for weds? If he had a concussion, he cannot safely play on Wednesday. The process of returning to play after suffering a concussion takes a minimum of five days after symptoms cease. If he has no symptoms tomorrow and they do not reappear, he should not play until Friday. See these sites: http://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/clinical-updates/general-medical/diagnosing-treating-sports-related-concussion http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/headsup/return_to_play.html
bpsaint Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 Think I would rather the physical presence of Yoshida up against a strong West Ham attack if I'm being honest, so I'm not overly worried if MT misses out, espically after the solid game MY had today.
adrian lord Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 He will have at least a week off any competitive play, including training matches, for concussion. Fitness and technical work only since another head blow in quick succession is to be avoided, and reaction times will be increased for a few days.
saintbletch Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 @Mattytargett: Thanks for all the nice messages!! Massive headache today!! Great 1-0 win for us yesterday ? #saintsfc #WeMarchOn
Wade Garrett Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 Not being able to play for a week after a concussion is a bit much.
Weston Saint Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 Not being able to play for a week after a concussion is a bit much. Concussion is the symptom of a minor brain injury. It may mask a more serious brain injury hence the period of rest. I appreciate he has had a brain scan and been given the all clear but as he has a headache today and Koeman has already said the health of the players are more important than points it is very unlikely he will be available for West Ham but will be ok for Liverpool. I am not medically trained but have dealt with many brain injury compensations and read numerous reports from the brain injury experts.

I am not medically trained but have dealt with many brain injury compensations and read numerous reports from the brain injury experts. From the original link below to the Treatment of Head Injuries: "Concussion is a brain injury. There is no blood test or scan currently available that can diagnose it." So having a scan is not really of any benefit, other than to ensure there is no other injury. It also says: The player should undergo a period of physical and mental rest for at least 24 hours after the injury (which includes the playing of video games or similar) I hope it wasn't Matty himself that was Tweeting. Matty will not play On Wednesday, and probably should not even train this week if the guidelines are followed.

shurlock Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 Not being able to play for a week after a concussion is a bit much. No it isn't.
L_O_Z Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 Not being able to play for a week after a concussion is a bit much. I used to **** guys like you in prison
Greenridge Posted 8 February, 2015 Posted 8 February, 2015 I used to **** guys like you in prison The missing word being?
