Hull City midfielder Ryan Mason discharged from hospital following head injury

Hull City midfielder Ryan Mason has been discharged from hospital a week after suffering a fractured skull in a Premier League match against Chelsea.

The 25-year-old clashed heads with Blues defender Gary Cahill 13 minutes into the match on January 22 and was taken to St Mary's Hospital in London, where he had surgery.

A statement on the Tigers website confirmed the news and added: "Ryan will now continue his recovery and early stages of rehabilitation at home.

"The club would once again like to place on record its thanks to everybody who has been involved in Ryan's care so far."

Hull were defeated 2-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
