- There was severe violence in connection with the collision against the rim and there is a cut injury.
He was then taken by ambulance to hospital.
We do not know much more but the hospital staff has to take care of it with X-rays and what needs to be done.
It's nerves and close to the spine, says Villa's club manager Jonas "Sparris" Johansson to SVT Sport.
Pherson went up on the left side and lost control, without contact with any other player, and slipped into the rim and got severe pain in the back.
Several Villa players watched Pherson and players from both teams waved to paramedics, who treated the player on the ice.
An ambulance then drove away with Pherson.
The long break was due to the fact that it was difficult to get a vacant ambulance, according to Villa's club manager Johansson.
It was never relevant to break the match for the evening.
Villa leads the match 8-0.
When the injury occurred, Villa led 3-0.
