Mason: I feel lucky to be alive after fractured skull

The 25-year-old has been discharged from hospital and is now recovering at home after suffering the serious injury at Stamford Bridge

Hull City midfielder Ryan Mason says he feels lucky to be alive after fracturing his skull against Chelsea earlier this month.

The Englishman was released from St Mary's Hospital in London on Monday after suffering a serious injury in a clash with Gary Cahill at Stamford Bridge on January 22.

Mason was given oxygen and put in a neck brace on the pitch before being treated at St Mary's, a major trauma centre which specialises in serious sporting injuries.
