More Heckingbottom reaction

“He’s where he needs to be, in hospital with the doctors and the medical team. No-one wants to see that, ever, and when you’re involved in it and it’s one of your players it’s far far worse. I’ve been on a pitch with a teammate and involved when it’s someone else but when it’s one of your players its tough and you can see that with the players.

“No [diagnosis] but you guys have seen the pictures, it’s terrible, it’s horrific.

“We’ve lost a good player, had to made changes we didn’t want to change. We can’t blame that. It’s going to affect us and it’s going to affect us for the season. I don’t know what the next step will be, but he’s where he needs to be and that’s the most important thing. Everyone could see he needs to be in hospital.”
