Following the revelation that Loris Karius suffered concussion in the Champions League final, FIFPro has declared “complete solidarity” with the Liverpool and vowed to provide greater awareness of potential health threats to professional players.
Events during a continental clash in Kiev have dominated the headlines long after the final whistle which delivered Real Madrid a third successive European crown.
Mohamed Salah’s injury, Sergio Ramos’ role in taking the Egyptian to the turf and two glaring errors from Reds goalkeeper Karius have provided copy aplenty and sparked endless debate.
It has also now been revealed that a man who shouldered much of the blame for Liverpool’s demise on the grandest of stages was actually concussed when making mistakes which gifted Madrid two goals – with Karius having also clashed with Blancos skipper Ramos in the Ukrainian capital.
