That's really interesting and puts things in a different perspective, maybe this will lead to people in the game taking concussions more seriously.

its crazy, was there not a situation with Sp**s goalie 3 or 4 years ago when he insisted on going back into the match but was obviously concussed? It has to be taken seriously like in other sports. So many stories of people suffering the concequences later in life cos they suffered concussions.
Yeah, we know the problems NFL is facing with cte, wonder if something like that will become a focus in football too..
Even if you ignore the health and well being of the player, an obviously concussed player is a liability, so if you suspect it, I don't see why you'd continue playing them.
Wow, thats carzy, the hospital that did the testing released a stamement with Karius and Liverpool permission:
Statement regarding Loris Karius From Dr. Ross Zafonte and Lenore Herget, PT, DPT
We have received numerous calls today regarding the health status of Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius. With Mr. Karius’s permission, we are providing information about his medical situation in an effort to prevent, where possible, the dissemination of incomplete or erroneous information.
On May 31, 2018 Mr. Karius underwent a comprehensive examination by Dr. Ross Zafonte and Dr. Lenore Herget in Boston at Massachusetts General Hospital and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.
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.
We also note that Mr. Karius has reported significant and steady improvement since the concussive event, and we expect him to make a full recovery based on the results of the examination. We expect that with treatment and by following prescribed activity protocols he will continue to improve. We have encouraged vigilance and an emphasis on safety in his eventual return to full activity.
This is the only comment we will be making in relation to this matter. All future media inquiries should be directed to the Liverpool FC Press Office .
Dr. Ross Zafonte

There should be better way of dealing with concussion in football, similar to how they do in the NHL where player has to go through tests straight away. They even contact the referee via headset in the NHL to make the player go off for tests. I know its a bit harder in football cos you'd have to sub him off.
I think for defenders they will be ok, cos surely having a proper DM now will help them in a big way.
Since Kloppo went there, this is the first time he's had a DM. It amazes me actually, cos at Dortmund (and at Mainz), he always used a DM! I guess he's just slowly been getting round to finding the right man.
Henderson isn't a DM, he's a converted one, and isn't exactly a dominant midfielder, Emre Can wants to be one, but doesn't have the intelligence, work ethic or mobility to be the style of one Liverpool would need.
So yeah, I think having Fabinho will be very good for them from a defensive standpoint too, far more than getting more defenders would be.
I would think they will look at forward options, they have a lot of strikers who are average - Ings, Origi, Solanke, Solanke is still very young though. But I can see them offloading the other 2 and trying to get a better fit for the squad - someone who can rotate / help their front 3.
I remember the final of WC14 when a German midfielder got concussed and only around 10 minutes later the referee noticed that he is acting strange and immediately notified the German bench about it. I think he literally asked the referee "Is this the WC final?" not sure about the story though, read it on some website.
****ing mental fanbase.Ianthe Rose Cochrane-Stack reveals she has split with blundering Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius after getting DEATH threats from vile trolls
Now she is getting death threats because she dumped him
She added: 'I’m not entirely sure what I have been accused of in the Russian press but I have been SINGLE for the last year.
Poor lad’s not having much luck. That’s another catch he’s missed.
Liverpool FC is going to be amazing next year. Can't see it being anything but a two-horse race between them and City.
We are so far behind in terms of quality its not even funny.
25 points to City is a huge gap to make up. United for all the **** they get also finished comfortable clear playing poorly for six months... Be surprised if Liverpool finish above either.
No real jump so far in the league... hovering around 4th each season taking it to the last day twice.
