Ryan Mason has every chance of making a full recovery after suffering a fractured skull during Hull City's 2-0 defeat at Chelsea on Sunday, a neuroscience expert has said.
The Guardian quoted Dr Michael Grey, a reader in rehabilitation neuroscience at the University of East Anglia, as saying Mason "would be expected to follow a gradual return to play protocol and the first step is complete rest, which means no stimulation."
He added: "After complete rest comes gentle exercise, all with continuous monitoring to check there are no symptoms, no fatigue or dizziness or headaches.
