Rui Patricio "fully aware" after his impressive shock to the head

Rui Patricio went out on a stretcher -

A player falls inert after a big blow to the head and does not get up.

The kind of images you don't like to see on a soccer field.

But Wolverhampton goalkeeper Rui Patricio has recovered from the shock with teammate Conor Coady.

At least, and as his coach Nuno Espirito Santo (himself a former goalkeeper) confided after the 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Sky Sport, “he is fine, he is aware, he remembers everything that s 'passed, he is lucid.

He is fine.

All these situations, as soon as there is a shock to the head, worry us, but he is fine, he will recover.

"

In the 86th minute of the match, with the Reds leading 1-0, Mohamed Salah came up in front of goal and scored - a goal later disallowed for offside - but Coady's knee, which came back towards his goal, hit the head of the goalkeeper out of his cages.

Rui Patricio spent more than ten minutes on the lawn receiving first aid before being placed on a stretcher and evacuated.
