Hull City has confirmed that footballer Ryan Mason suffered a skull fracture against Chelsea this afternoon, but is in stable condition. The player looked to be in a serious condition on the pitch after the collision with Gary Cahill and had to be stretchered off the field. Hull City later confirmed that he was brought to hospital. Oxygen was administered to the player on the pitch, and his neck was put in a brace. Speaking after the game, manager Marco Silva said: "I imagine in this moment that he will stay in hospital. I hope nothing serious, but we'll see.
"I don't know (if he is awake). He doctor told me he was in the hospital and we await news.”
The club has now confirmed that the 25-year-old has undergone surgery, and is in a stable condition. The club added that he is expected to remain in St. Mary's Hospital for the next few days.

That's bad news. If it was boxing you could say it was the risk you take but unlucky for a footballer. I hope he recovers well.

Hull midfielder Ryan Mason has been able to talk about the clash of heads that left him with a fractured skull during a Premier League match at Chelsea.
The 25-year-old Englishman underwent surgery after the incident, but Hull said Monday that Mason was in stable condition.
“Ryan has been speaking of the incident yesterday and will continue to be monitored at the hospital over the coming days where the club will remain in close contact with Ryan, his family and the staff at St. Mary's,” Hull said.
“Ryan and his family have also been extremely touched by the overwhelming support they have received and would very much like to thank all of those who have posted such positive comments both on social media and in the press over the last 24 hours.”
Mason was taken to the neurosurgery unit at a hospital close to Stamford Bridge on Sunday after the collision with Chelsea defender Gary Cahill as they went to head the ball.
Mason received treatment for almost 10 minutes on the field before departing on a stretcher while receiving oxygen.
Cahill, along with Chelsea captain John Terry, reportedly visited Mason in the hospital on Sunday evening.
