A brain injury charity has slammed football's 'stubborn refusal' to prioritise players' health after Harry Maguire completed the full match against Fulham despite suffering a blow to his head in the first minute.
The Manchester United defender was struck by the shoulder of home striker Rodrigo Muniz in the opening seconds of his side's 1-0 win at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
Maguire then received the ball and put it out of play before collapsing to his knees to receive treatment from United's medical staff.
The 30-year-old was deemed fit to carry on after passing concussion checks.
