Maguire went down injured early in Man Utd's Premier League game with Fulham on Saturday after a knock to the head but was allowed to continue playing
Brain injury charity Headway have called for an overhaul of the concussion process in football after an incident involving Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.
Headway labelled the incident 'concerning' and reiterated calls for a change in attitude in the sport to avoid short and long-term brain injuries. Maguire had a cut above his eye following the clash in the opening stages of the game and referee John Brooks then called for the England international to be looked at again in the second half after a headed clearance although Reds boss Erik ten Hag said that was due to a hand injury.
"After a brief on-pitch assessment – again highlighting the nonsensical lack of temporary concussion substitutes in football – he was allowed to continue. The sight of the referee then having to intervene in the second half when the player continued to look in difficulty was deeply concerning. But again, after another brief assessment with medics, he was again allowed to play on.
