Captain Just Staggered
After Knockout: Major Concerns for Austria’s Dragovic
Nervous moments in the Cup match between Austria and Wiener Sport-Club! The Violets’ captain, Aleks Dragovic, was knocked out after a tackle—and had to leave the field dazed, as it later turned out, with a concussion...
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen It happened in the 20th minute with Austria leading 1-0: A corner kick from the Hernals side landed near the far post; Dragovic cleared it with a header but was struck on the back of the head by Abazovic during the aerial duel.
The Austria captain fell to the ground dazed and lay there almost motionless for several seconds. First responders were quickly on the scene, but Dragovic was bleeding heavily and couldn’t get up.
Stitched up in the tunnel
Only after a lengthy pause did Austria’s medical staff manage to carry their captain off the field. Even after the defensive leader had been substituted, he was still staggering badly. The 35-year-old former national team player had to receive stitches in the tunnel.
“He has a cut on the back of his head; as far as I know, it’s not that bad,” says Austria coach Stephan Helm while still at the stadium. Later, however, the hospital gives a slight all-clear, as Dragovic has been diagnosed with “only” a mild concussion.
