TIL Desk Sports/ Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres, who was discharged from hospital a week ago after being knocked unconscious at the Estadio Riazor stadium during the football match against Deportivo La Coruña, said he is now fine and eager to join his teammates on the field soon.
In an interview posted on Atletico Madrid’s official website on Thursday, Torres said: “Well, well. I am doing very well. It was a big fright for all, probably least for me because I don’t remember of the moment of the blow until I recovered consciousness at hospital, but I understand the magnitude of what happened when I see the video in real time,” reports.
Torres was taken to hospital after sustaining an alarming head injury during the 1-1 draw against Deportivo, after colliding with Alex Bergantiños as they both went to head the ball. “I suppose they were endless minutes for all the people who love me, as my wife, my parents and my brothers, who were watching it live. I understand the shock they got,” he continued.
