Sports doctor Dmytro Babeliuk assessed the severity of the injury to Ukraine midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk, who was injured in yesterday's match for his club, Chelsea.
Mykhailo Mudryk leaves the pitch after being injured"Mykhailo hit the Brighton defender in the shoulder with his jaw. The blow may not have been very hard, but it was quite accurate, because Misha immediately fell to the turf and took a long time to recover.
From his symptoms, we can assume that he was complaining of vision problems (flickering in the eyes, double vision, reaction to light - all these are symptoms of concussion). Most likely, he also had a headache. The doctors tested Misha for quite a long time. Traditionally, doctors follow the SCAT5 protocol, which is used to diagnose concussions.
Taking into account all the tests and the player's condition, it was decided to use concussion sub and follow the protocol. The player's safety is paramount, and concussion symptoms can appear over time.
As a rule, a player is given 6-10 days of rest after a concussion, depending on the condition. Therefore, there is a risk that Mikhail will not play in the last round. However, there are no signs yet that the injury is serious and could threaten his participation in Euro 2024.
The problem doesn't really look terrible, but the Ukrainian needs a quality break and recovery now. A minimum of physical activity, stress and social media, more sleep, relaxation and taking care of his emotional and mental state.
I think Mykhailo will be in perfect condition for the national team's training camp in early June," Babeliuk wrote on his Telegram channel.
