Wolverhampton coach announces the development of Patricio's serious injury against Liverpool
Wolverhampton coach Nuno Santo revealed the development of goalkeeper Roy Patricio after the severe injury he suffered in yesterday's match against Liverpool.
The two teams met at the end of the twenty-eighth round of the English Premier League, where Liverpool won with a goal without a response.
The 90th minute saw Wolverhampton goalkeeper Patricio fell into a coma, after his head collided strongly with the knee of his colleague Connor Cody.
The match was suspended for more than 10 minutes, before Patricio was taken off the field on a stretcher.
"We now have an update on Patricio's condition, he's fine," Nuno Santo said in a brief statement after the match.
He added, "He is in a state of awareness, remembers what happened, and the doctor talks to him. The first signs indicate that he is fine."
He continued: "The injuries that occur to the head raise our concern, but he is fine and he will recover. He has not gone to the hospital yet, he is in safe hands with us, we just have to be careful with him in the next hour."
