Brain injury group hits out at AVB over Lloris injury

Andre Villas-Boas put Hugo Lloris’ long-term health at risk with his “dangerous” and “irresponsible” decision to let the Tottenham goalkeeper play on at Everton after being knocked unconscious by Romelu Lukaku, according to brain injury charity Headway.

With 12 minutes of the 0-0 draw remaining, Lloris was accidentally caught on the head by the knee of Everton’s Lukaku as he dived to collect a stray ball.
