the essential
Exited with an injury just ten minutes after coming into play this Saturday against Hauts Lyonnais, Joshua King left the pitch bleeding and was not satisfactory during concussion tests. A protocol will now be put in place for the Norwegian.
It could be appropriate to use the expression “more fear than harm” to evoke the difficult qualification won by the TFC this Saturday in Feurs against Hauts Lyonnais at the end of the penalty shootout (0-0, 2-4 after tab). But for Joshua King, the Norwegian striker for the Haut-Garonnais club, it would be obsolete.

Substitute for Umit Akdag at the very start of the second half in order to bring more weight to a TFC team reduced to 10 shortly before the half-hour mark following Niklas Schmidt's red card, the experienced 32-year-old striker did not will not have lasted long on the difficult pitch of Feurs. Less than ten minutes after coming into play, his head-to-head clash with Hilal Bouguerra left after-effects.
Minimum one week of protocol
Bloody, Joshua King appeared to be hit at the top of his nose, near both eyebrows. Supported for long minutes on the Feurs pitch, the Norwegian then took a test at the edge of the pitch to determine if he was fit to resume the match. Negative response from the medical profession since he was replaced a few moments later by his compatriot Aron Donnum.
According to the FFF protocol, Joshua King must be carefully monitored for the next 48 hours, before having to consult “a general practitioner or a neurologist”. “For a first concussion, the time to return to competition will be a minimum of 7 days” indicates the three F document. But “the duration extends between 1 and 3 weeks” depending on the case “and must be individualized” can also be read. While Toulouse will resume training on December 28, King will have a rather special Christmas celebration.
