Ederson to miss final 2 games of the season

This incident does show the contrast with head injury protocols in RU. If a player suffers a blow to the head they have to go for a concussion check from an independent doctor. This entails them going off for 10 minutes to be checked over properly whilst their place is taken by a temporary substitute. If the player passes the assessment they are allowed to return to the field and the sub is withdrawn. Fail it and it’s automatic two weeks out. That to me seems more robust than what we have in football.
 
Probably but why did he not go off straight away? This was a very poor call, bordering on negligence by the medical team. You could see his face was fucked.
We had an excellent goalie to come on so why keep Ederson on? What would have happened if straight after there is a cross put close to him - doesn’t bear thinking about.
If the medical team can’t make the right call then Pep should have over riled them.
Absolutely shit decision not to take him off straight away - he was motionless for a few mins after as well.
For us FOC's it reminded me of Big Joe v Sunderland in the FA Cup circa 1973. We ended up with a draw at home after he took a goal kick following an injury and set them up, they won the replay and the cup....Eddie slipping with his first touch back on his feet was the stuff of nightmares.
