GIFs: Javier Mascherano Almost Certainly Concussed, Somehow Allowed To Stay On Pitch

Javier Mascherano clashed heads with Netherlands' midfielder Georginho Wijnaldum in the first half of their World Cup semi final, almost certainly suffering a concussion.

The Argentinian midfielder was clearly worse for wear after the incident. He was unable to remain upright and stumbled to the ground holding his head.

The 30-year-old left the field of play, under his own power, but returned just two and a half minutes after the clash.

It's an occurrence quite reminiscent of an injury Florian Fritz sustained during the Top 14 playoffs this season.
