Paddy Almond update
By Ray Simpson
Incident at Southend
Darlington defender Paddy Almond came off in the second half of our game at Southend today, and was rushed to hospital with suspected concussion.
We understand that Paddy will have a brain scan tonight as a precaution, and our physio, Danny O'Connor, is going to stay with him. Our thanks go to Danny.
Everybody at Darlington would like to wish Paddy a speedy recovery.
We will keep everyone updated.
Update at 9.15pm Saturday
After a brain scan at Southend Hospital, Paddy has been diagnosed with a bleed on the brain, and is currently being transferred (Danny is with him) to a specialist London hospital for further treatment.
Paddy is in our thoughts, and we continue to wish him a speedy recovery.
