Club News:
Following his disappointing performance in the Champions League Final, it has been revealed that Loris Karius suffered a concussion after Sergio Ramos had elbowed him during the game.
Karius travelled to the United States of America to undergo a series of tests and it has been determined by Dr Ross Zafonte and Lenore Herget that Karius did suffer a concussion.
A statement was released by both doctors:
“After carefully reviewing game film and integrating a detailed history – including his reported present and immediate post-contact subjective symptoms – physical examination and objective metrics, we have concluded that Mr Karius sustained a concussion during the match May 26, 2018.
At the time of our evaluation, Mr Karius’s principal residual symptoms and objective signs suggested that visual-spatial dysfunction existed and likely occurred immediately following the event. Additional symptomatic and objectively noted areas of dysfunction also persisted. It could be possible that such deficits would affect performance.”
