No problems according to Parker. Bar the obvious protocol of missing the game after being kicked in the head by your own player. But they are hopeful that Odoi will be available for the last match. Last match? Despite the trauma of the season. Now the end is nigh it feels as if it has come around very quickly.

Wonder if Mawson will start as Odoi is out?

Parker said: "The only one [missing] is Denis who had a concussion from the weekend," Parker stated. "He's on a protocol now to try and get back for our last game of the season [against Newcastle United].  I saw him faceplant and he did look a bit unconscious with the way he fell, but the medical team were superb, they were straight onto it to stabilise him and get him off.  He's all good now, he's fine. His wife had a baby as well the other day so that's probably given him more of a headache than the concussion!"

What's faceplant? I've never heard that word before.  Presumably it means falling forwards without using arms/hands to protect yourself?

I know Odoi was kicked in the chin but it was the landing  that did the damage, his head hit the ground with some force.

'Faceplant' is a common phrase. It may be colloquial. Must look it up. But it means exactly what you think it does. I remember as a young man coming down to the South Coast from Cheshire and using phrases and words that sometimes confused locals.

Was shocked that he Dennis recovered so we'll ,plus nearly end of a very hard good pro season for a man that gives 200%.

Recall Niemi 'headplanting' on his six yard box a dozen years or so ago...horrible to see it was.
