Ryan Mason conscious and talking after successful surgery
The Hull City midfielder was taken to hospital after a clash of heads with Gary Cahill and underwent surgery on a fractured skull.
Hull City midfielder Ryan Mason spoke to club captain Michael Dawson and medical staff on Monday after fracturing his skull in Sunday's Premier League defeat at Chelsea and undergoing surgery.
"Ryan will continue to be monitored"
"Ryan has been speaking of the incident yesterday and will continue to be monitored at the hospital over the coming days," Hull said in a statement.
The club said Dawson, club doctor Mark Waller, head of medical Rob Price and club secretary Matt Wild had all visited the player at St Mary's Hospital.
The 25-year-old midfielder suffered the head injury in a collision during Hull's 2-0 defeat and was rushed to hospital after being treated for 10 minutes on the field. The 25-year-old collided with Chelsea's Gary Cahill in Hull's box after 14 minutes with both clubs' medical teams called to the scene after referee Neil Swarbrick stopped play.
