Jan Paul van Hecke update after Brighton star taken to hospital following sickening injury
Brighton and Hove Albion have announced that Jan Paul van Hecke has been discharged from hospital after sustaining a head injury against Brentford. The defender was stretchered off the pitch at the Gtech Community Stadium after colliding with Yunus Emre Konak when challenging for a header.
With the Seagulls trailing 4-2 and the referee expecting to play an extra 45 seconds of additional extra time, Van Hecke looked to flick on Bart Verbruggen’s long kick but clashed heads with Konak. The medical staff from both teams rushed onto the pitch to attend to both players.
