Hull manager Marco Silva has his mind on Ryan Mason as midfielder recovers from fractured skull: 'The most important is the player and his family, the other things are not important'

Daily Mail | January 26, 2017

Hull head coach Marco Silva agreed Ryan Mason's head injury has put a different perspective on his challenge to keep the club in the Premier League.

Midfielder Mason is currently making 'excellent progress' in St Mary's Hospital in London after surgery on Sunday night to repair his fractured skull, sustained during Hull's defeat at Chelsea earlier in the day.

The Tigers take a break from their top-flight survival battle on Thursday when they bid to overhaul a 2-0 deficit from the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final against Manchester United.
