PITTSBURGH Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has sustained a serious neck injury as well a concussion, the National Hockey League team said on Saturday.
Crosby, who has been sidelined since early December after a relapse of concussion like symptoms, was recently examined by neurological spine specialist Dr. Robert Bray in Los Angeles where tests revealed the neck injury.
Crosby's agent Pat Brisson, told CBC's Hockey Night in Canada that the Canadian may have fractured two vertebrae when he was hit by Boston Bruins David Krejci on December 5.
"The diagnosis of Dr. Robert S. Bray, a neurological spine specialist based in Los Angeles, is that Sidney Crosby had suffered a neck injury in addition to a concussion," the team said.
"Dr. Bray reports that the neck injury is fully healed. Those findings will be evaluated by independent specialists over the next few days," the statement said.
