Uth is okay a er heavy head knock

Berlin – Schalke striker Mark Uth said he was “doing very well” and hoped to leave hospital yesterday after being stretchered off unconscious following a sickening clash of heads in a Bundesliga game against Augsburg on Sunday.

“Thank you for all the get-well messages. I am doing very well,” wrote Uth in an Instagram post after a dramatic incident which shocked Germany.

Uth was treated by medical staff on the pitch for around 15 minutes and attached to a drip after falling to the ground unconscious following a clash of heads with Augsburg’s Felix Uduokhai early in the game which ended 2-2.

He was eventually carried from the pitch with a neck brace to applause from both team dugouts.

Both sets of players and Uduokhai in particular were visibly shaken by the incident.

Around 45 minutes after Uth was carried off, Schalke announced via their official Twitter account that the striker had regained consciousness. –
