Brighton Striker Glenn Murray 'Feeling Much Better' After Being Stretchered Off Against Newcastle

Brighton & Hove Albion striker Glenn Murray has thanked the staff at Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary after his horror clash of heads at St James’ Park yesterday.

Murray was carried off and taken to hospital for a precautionary scan after the nasty clash with Federico Fernandez during yesterday’s game against Newcastle United.

The match was stopped for eight minutes before Murray was taken off on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask.

The striker has now been discharged from hospital. A club spokesman quoted by Reuters said: “He [Murray] was out cold and we were worried he might have swallowed his tongue but he came round very quickly.
