It is understood Gary Cahill, John Terry and Chelsea assistant boss Steve Holland visited St Mary's hospital last night to check on Ryan Mason's well being after the Hull City midfielder fractured his skull during Sunday's game at Stamford Bridge.

They spent time with Mason's family.

Such a committed footballer, with real passion, and he always showed it for us. Just want to hear that he will be Ok... Get well soon Ryan.

Completely agree we should have a minute's applause for him on 8 mins against Wycombe. He'll always be one of our own.

 

[iddebu52]

Ryan still in our hears. Fight it Ryan, we know you will buddy.

 

[John48]

Here's hoping the boy makes a full recovery.

 

[spursfan77]

Bloody hell I didn't know it was that bad. Heard he had a head injury but thought it was just concussion.

Lets hope he makes a full recovery.

Hes a tough guy and has come back from lots of injuries in the past so i suspect will have the fortitude to do so again if he recovers alright.

 

[spursgirls]

Not sure where this came from, but I'm not at all surprised that Michael Dawson stayed down. Glad to hear Ryan is able to have visitors.

There was no intent to harm of course but, after watching it a few times, in my opinion Cahill was reckless. Clash of heads usually happen when the players don't see each other but Cahill had it all out in front of him, ran in at full pelt and didn't pay due care and attention to his opponent, especially as the height of ball meant Mason was going to get to it first. Though as I said, it wasn't his intention to harm, but in my opinion he's been reckless with his head as a player can be with their feet when they go sliding in.

A horrible, horrible injury to one of our own and I feel I've got to agree with @UpTownSpur here.

While Keown & Murphy, on MOTD2 (I don't have Sky/BT, so didn't see it any other pundits), said that it was an accidental collision and Cahill was blameless - if the ball had come across at knee height instead and Cahill came through Mason from behind, in the same way, with the same force, wouldn't it have been a straight red card?

Yes, I agree Cahill never meant to injure Mason, but I feel it was a foul from a player aggressively challenging from behind.

I accept that it's a contact sport where collisions and injuries do happen but if you can't jump into a challenge, on the floor, because you're out of control, how is Cahill running and jumping into a challenge like this any different?

I think the seriousness of the injury and the fact that Cahill was hurt, too, meant that the foul itself was forgotten.

I don't think the challenge was necessary and don't want to see another injury like this.

I just pray he makes some sort of recovery and is able to get back on his feet again. The head is the most important organ in the body and the most fragile. Football is an after thought here. This is an extremely serious injury and I hope the club volunteers to help pay the medical expenses and is in contact with his family and with Hull to get updates. He's a Spurs boy through and through and is one of our own.

Ive seen the club, the national team, Kane, Lamela and Bale all tweet their well wishes which is great to see. Hope we do something on Saturday. Even a small gesture like a minutes applause before the match. Maybe even everyone wear his shirt last year as a warm up shirt. Hope the fans do a minutes applause at the 8th and 38th minutes as well on Saturday.

Hull City midfielder Ryan Mason, who has had surgery after fracturing his skull during Sunday's game at Chelsea, has been speaking of the incident in hospital.

Hull released a statement saying: "Ryan will continue to be monitored at the hospital over the coming days where the Club will remain in close contact with Ryan, his family and the staff at St Mary's.

"Ryan and his family have also been extremely touched by the overwhelming support they have received and would very much like to thank all of those who have posted such positive comments both on social media and in the press over the last 24 hours."

He won't have to pay for his medical expenses.

Thats a nice gesture from Terry. Good to hear.

He's still a big-time twat though.

Agree, it's the height of the ball that made it reckless. The advantage of taking a running jump is that you're able to out jump most players who jump from standing, especially when you're 6ft4 like Cahill, so there's very little chance of making contact with someone else's head. But Mason, who's 5ft 9, was able to head the ball from standing and to make a flying jump when the ball was at that height is dangerous, as there's a high possibility you'd make contact with an another player's head and I'm struggling to recall seeing a similar incident.

As he did to Danny Rose when we beat them a couple of years ago, nearly cut him in half, no booking. The stamp on Lamela? a couple of years ago at the Lane (could be the same match).
Can't stand Cahill

 

[aliyid]

Come on lets try and keep this as a positivity about Mason rather than turning into hatred of Cahill.

Fav moment of his was when he came on as a sub in the Lge cup against Forrest. Some t**t behind me who had been mouthing off the whole game couldn't think of Masons name so just went into a tirade on how we're throwing away the tie by "bringing on rubbish from the yoof" just as he cracked in a 25-30 yard screamer . Strangely he knew his name after the whole crowd started chanting it

 

[TwanYid]

I'm surprised this kind of thing doesn't happen more tbh.

Get well soon Ryan!!
