Brain injury charity Headway has praised the treatment of Ryan Mason after the Hull midfielder suffered a fractured skull in Sunday's defeat at Chelsea.
Hull were on Monday awaiting an update on the condition of Mason, who on Sunday night had surgery at St Mary's Hospital in London.
The 25-year-old midfielder was carried off and received oxygen after a clash of heads with Gary Cahill during the first half of Hull's 2-0 loss at Stamford Bridge.
Headway chief executive Peter McCabe said: 'I was actually at the match and, while it was upsetting to witness the incident, it was encouraging to see the exemplary reaction of the medical teams.
