Conor Coady discharged from hospital

On his 500th appearance Conor Coady was entrusted back into the defensive midfield role today, and I was pleased to see it.

He had a strong game, but just after the officials put up 6 minutes of added time, Conor took a shot from Tom Ince straight in the face and lay prone unconscious for 9 minutes.

Fortunately tonight the club updated fans with good news that after a series of scans Conor was given the all-clear and was discharged from hospital this evening.

Coady took a shot from close range straight in the face from Watford sub Tom Ince, Coady’s mate apparently.

Vicarage Road was eerily quiet for the 9 minutes Coady lay in the penalty box and there were a lot of medical staff around him. He eventually left the field and was taken away in an ambulance. .

I look forward to the Scouser telling us the story in dispatches, and hopefully if protocols allow, we’ll see him on Saturday.
