Club doctor says medics are under pressure with potentially concussed players

Manchester United v Chelsea – FA Cup – Semi Final – Wembley Stadium

Team medics have allowed potentially concussed players to stay on the pitch because they fear being confronted by a coach, according to a Championship club doctor.

Bryan English, who works for Middlesbrough, says club doctors must have the final say on the use of concussion substitutes and has backed calls for a 10-minute assessment period for head injuries instead of the current three minutes.
