Hull City have released a statement regarding Ryan Mason.
Mason left Hull's game with Chelsea on Sunday after just 21 minutes following a nasty clash of heads with Gary Cahill.
Hull confirmed that the 25-year-old sustained a skull fracture during the game but is now, thankfully, in a stable condition.
The Club can confirm that Ryan Mason sustained a skull fracture in our fixture at Chelsea this afternoon.
He was taken to St Mary’s Hospital where he has undergone surgery.
Ryan is in a stable condition and is expected to remain in hospital for the next few days.
Everyone at the Club would like to express their sincere thanks for the excellent and swift care given to Ryan by both the Accident and Emergency department and Neurosurgery Unit at St Mary’s Hospital.
A further update will be issued tomorrow.
Fears regarding Mason's condition were raised this evening when The Mirror reported that the midfielder was 'fighting for his life'.
