Frank Confirms Concussion for Tottenham’s Lucas Bergvall After Chelsea Match

FA concussion protocols now govern his potential return.

Overview

  • Bergvall was withdrawn for a head injury after appearing dazed, protesting the decision as medical staff intervened.
  • Tottenham recorded the change as a concussion substitution, which does not count toward the five regular changes and gives Chelsea an extra substitution.
  • Thomas Frank said the midfielder suffered a concussion and introduced Xavi Simons as his replacement.
  • The head coach said Bergvall looks set to miss FC Copenhagen on Tuesday and the Manchester United match next weekend, with further checks to follow.
  • Under FA guidance, a gradual return-to-play can extend to 21 days without contact, which could affect his availability for the Arsenal fixture after the international break.
