Knocked out player 鈥榣et down鈥
Print Edition
THE world players’ union accused World Cup organizer FIFA yesterday of failing to protect Uruguay midfielder Alvaro Pereira after he played on following a hard blow to the head he said felt “like the lights went out.”
Pereira lay motionless after colliding with Raheem Sterling in the 61st minute of Uruguay’s 2-1 victory against England on Thursday. He returned in the 63rd minute.
FIFPro said FIFA’s protocol for assessing concussions “failed to protect” Pereira. It called for “a thorough investigation” as well as “urgent talks and immediate assurances that FIFA can guarantee the safety of the players.”
Although Pereira acknowledged he was briefly knocked unconscious and then felt dizzy, FIFA spokeswoman Delia Fischer said: “The neurological examination by the team’s physician clearly showed that it’s normal and that allowed him to return.”
