Huddersfield's Hogg fractured his neck
Jonathan Hogg, who was carefully carried from the field on a stretcher after a collision with team-mate Mark Hudson on Saturday (AEDT), is lucky his neck injury was not worse.
Huddersfield Town midfielder Jonathan Hogg suffered a fractured neck against Bristol City and is set to miss the rest of the season, the EFL Championship club confirmed.
Hogg had to be carried from the field on a stretcher after requiring almost 15 minutes of treatment after a collision with team-mate Mark Hudson in the first half of Saturday's (AEDT) 4-0 defeat.
The 28-year-old was taken to hospital for treatment before being discharged on Sunday (AEDT), with no significant trauma to any of the soft tissues in his neck.
"Throughout both days, Jonathan has been conscious and completely aware of his situation," s statement read.
"Although he is expected to miss the rest of the 2016-2017 season, the Club is happy that Jonathan is in no immediate danger and looks forward to seeing 'Hoggy' back out on the pitch as soon as is safely possible.
"Alongside Jonathan, everyone at the Club would like to thank the medical staff at Bristol City and the NHS staff at Bristol Royal Infirmary for ensuring Jonathan was looked after and received appropriate care."
Hogg has made 30 appearances this season to help Huddersfield to third in the Championship table, and already has plenty of support as he begins his recovery.
