Hull await news on Mason condition
Hull are still awaiting news on Ryan Mason after the midfielder was taken to hospital after a clash of heads in their defeat to Chelsea.
The 25-year-old former Tottenham player and Chelsea’s Gary Cahill collided in Hull’s box after 14 minutes of the Tigers’ 2-0 loss at Stamford Bridge.
Hull boss Marco Silva was awaiting an update on the player’s status.
“Ryan Mason at this moment is staying in the hospital. I don’t know more news about this,” Silva said.
“I hope nothing special, nothing serious, but at this moment the player stays in hospital.
“The doctor stayed with the player in hospital. I wait for news.”
Both medical teams rushed to the scene as referee Neil Swarbrick stopped play.
Cahill quickly returned to his feet and readied himself to return to the action. He completed the game and scored Chelsea’s second goal.
Mason was in hospital by then, having received treatment for around six minutes on the field before departing on a stretcher, while receiving oxygen. David Meyler replaced him.
