Loris Karius: Liverpool keeper concussed during Champions League final - doctors

Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius sustained a concussion during last month's Champions League final defeat by Real Madrid, doctors have said.

Karius, 24, was at fault for the Spanish side's first and third goals in their 3-1 victory in Kiev on 26 May.

The German had tests at hospitals in Boston in the United States, and medics said the impact of the concussion was "likely" to have been felt immediately.

Dr Ross Zafonte said it was "possible" the injury "would affect performance".

He came to his conclusion after reviewing "game film", a "physical examination" and "objective metrics".

Dr Zafonte said Karius had suffered from "visual spatial dysfunction", a process which hampers a person's ability to

Sane is a quiet kid, usually very serious with a competitive streak. All this talk about ego and bad attitude doesn't add up. Plus Sane scored a couple goals in their closed door friendly. The whole team was bad in their last friendly against Austria.

Sane plays mostly on the left but is not bad on the right, ain't no way Brandt is better. In fact Sane was better than Brandt is right now when Sane was at Shalke.
I get why he chose Rues and Draxtler but Brandt is the definition of super average. I don't care how much better he played on the NT than Sane. That is an abomination of a choice.:picard::scusthov:

anyways, not like Germany is winning it this summer. alot of slightly above average players on that squad.

He still has time to get his shyt together, but man... Especially as a Man U fan, I expected him to be consistently elite at this point :francis:

Juve Pogba was touted as a future Balon Do'r winner :ehh: I've seen flashes this season but :yeshrug:

It hasn't helped that he plays for 2 of the most conservative coaches in the world, who don't play to his strengths. But let's keep it reality, at Juve he had Pirlo to be the primary playmaker, so he wasn't relied upon to be the main creative hub of the side. Now he being asked to do that job, he just isn't that guy at the moment, he may grow into that role, but at the present he needs to be the most advanced midfielder in a 3. Him playing in the 2, you get the inconsistency that he's shown for both United and France.

The issues he has for France, isn't too dissimilar to what Lampard and Gerrard had with England. Players who can do everything but are far better at attacking are shoe horned into defensive roles first to get them in the team.

Yeah Mourhino has a reputation for not playing players in their ideal positions. But he's going to have to adapt to that, which I think he eventually will.
