Apparently less than 10% of knock outs result in a concussion.

edit, citation:

Many people assume that you can only get a concussion if you're knocked unconscious. But while getting knocked-out can be a sign of concussion, it only happens in less than 10 percent of cases. Everyone should know what to look for in a concussion in order to protect themselves and their loved ones.”

I think you’re reading that stat backwards. It’s saying that only 10% of concussions come from situations where someone is knocked out, not that only 10% of people who are knocked out have concussions.

That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for pointing that out.

Concussions have associated grades 0-4 which have varying associated recovery periods ranging from a few days for grades 0 and 1 to a few weeks for 3 and 4. 3 and 4 are usually associated with a loss of consciousness.

"It was a great scare, but he is recovering well. After an hour in the dressing room he reacted well. Today he will continue with some tests that they are going to do and we're hoping that everything continues as it has so far. "He was in a good mood and in good condition. It is difficult sometimes to think what may happen but good thanks to God it seems to me that everything is going to be fine, and Rodrigo is going to be in optimal conditions."

Concussions are no joke. Everyone remember Jan Vertonghen falling off after his concussion against Ajax? Bentancur may be back training but will be important for the club and us to give him plenty of time.

I suffered s concussion in 2018 in which i was unconscious for a short time. For months afterwards i had black outs and general sight and headache issues. I would say it took me 3 years to recover from the worst symptoms but even now if i head a football etc i have relapses. Concussion changed my life unfortunately...it is no joke

I doubt he‘ll be allowed to play this week and maybe even next weekend.
Just fingers crossed he’s ok and can stay fit for the season

He can't play for a minimum of 3 weeks and he's not allowed to even properly train with the group for 2 weeks (and those 2 weeks only start when he's symptom-free).

If he has been deemed to have a concussion which isn't a given.
Exactly - until all the tests confirm it was a concussion, then he is available to play the next match, if none the worse. I bet he will want to play, so only a confirmed concussion would prevent that if Ange feels he is fine in training.

So he just misses everton no matter what as its only 5 days since the leicester game regardless of exceptional criteria being met. Returns to training next Wednesday worst case.

After the way he reacted to being kept on a timeline after his ACL injury, you'd imagine he's already trying to run out with the first team to train and being held back by the coaching staff.

Got a feeling Bissouma will start Saturday as his kind of last chance to impress and respond to his antics.

I'm really sorry this happened to you because it sounds awful....

...but it's quite apt that your avatar seems to be a man passed out on the floor.

Similar experience. Trying to figure out when things happened was mental for a good while. Also affected my eyesight. Two years later and I'm still recovering

For the good of the team in this particular game, imo recalling Biss is best given the current playing staff.

....BUT, i can absolutely see him not being recalled because he's done wrong, had a slap on the wrist, and now needs to work his way back into favour having let Ange down a few times now - put it this way, i highly doubt he'd get a start anytime soon had Bentancur not suffered the knock out on Monday, so it would feel wrong to chuck him in now just because it suits us.

Difficult one imo and i don't really care either way (as long as the team wins !) but i suspect Ange is the type of bloke who would make him earn his recall, regardless of circumstance, so if i had to bet on it i'd bet on him not starting.

Start Gray, Everton are basically a Championship side anyway, no?
