David Luiz was the protagonist, last Sunday, of an impressive crash that caused a skull fracture to Raúl Jiménez in the match between Arsenal and Wolverhampton. The Mexican forward was immediately taken to hospital, while David Luiz remained in the game, something incomprehensible for Ryan Mason, a former midfielder who was forced to end his career in February 2018 after also suffering a skull fracture.
“I was very concerned that something like this would happen again on a soccer field. It’s a shame that what happened to me has not changed the perception of things, “said the former player, now 29, in statements to TalkSport radio.
“I’ll be honest, I was surprised that David Luiz kept playing. I do not criticize the Arsenal doctor, as there is a protocol and I am sure he followed it. But the protocol that is currently in force is not enough, “he said, arguing that” two or three minutes are not enough “to see if a player who has received a blow to the head is in a position to continue playing.
«It is necessary to change this rule. Of course, five minutes away, while there is pressure to restart the game, is not enough to see if someone has a concussion or not. It’s dangerous, “he concluded.
