' JOEL BAGAN - INJURY UPDATE '

SM appears to have said he's fine if you don't want to read it all, so hopefully available for Preston.
CARDIFF CITY boss Steve Morison has played down concerns over an injury suffered to Ireland U21 international Joel Bagan today.
The Welsh side lost defender Bagan to a head injury early on during their 2-0 defeat to Bristol City in which Ireland international Callum O’Dowda also started against his former club.
The good news will come as a relief to Jim Crawford, whose Ireland U21 side face a crucial Euro qualification playoff against Israel next month, with the 20-year-old likely to be involved.
On Bagan’s injury, Morison said: “He is fine. He didn’t remember heading the ball so he came straight off, but he will be okay.”
The youngster has caught the eye in his short Championship career so far.
Bagan made 28 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring three goals.

Can’t mess with head injuries. If they have even a hint of concussion get them off and get them treated properly. Can’t have a repeat of the horrible stories coming from rugby right now. With luck it’s nothing serious and he can be back playing soon.

If he was out cold, even for a few seconds, he needs at least a week and probably 2 weeks off contact. The fact that he can’t remember heading the ball suggests that this might be the case.

I'm amazed concussion subs haven't been brought in yet. Just seems like the sensible thing to do

Didn't we use one on Sunday for Joel Bagan?
We certainly used 6 subs (and a mine sweeper)

Rugby style short term substitutions for proper assessment
