Guthenberg. Jacob Bergstrom of Mjällby has been abroad for six months as a result of a concussion.
When IFK Göteborg’s Kaley Johansson, 28, got dizzy and had trouble seeing against HIF, he was immediately taken off the field.
– With these symptoms, there was no doubt, says physiotherapist Carl Pearson.
IFK Gothenburg Had to make an emergency substitution in the first half in a 1-3 loss to Helsingborg IF.
Central defender Kaley Johansson started feeling unwell during the first half and in the first half his symptoms meant he was unable to continue the match.
– It was hard for Cali to run with a migraine or whatever it was. “We found out during the break that he was bothered by a headache and difficulty seeing,” says Gustav Svensson.
After the match, IFK physiotherapist Carl Persson explained the apparent decision to take the central defender off the field in the second half:
– He was dizzy and we had to change. Symptoms appeared and escalated. He could not do justice to himself. With these symptoms, there was no doubt
“You don’t have an eye on the surroundings”
He had no control over his surroundings and himself, says Pearson.
In recent years, Swedish sports have become more aware of symptoms that may indicate a concussion.
During this season, Milan’s Jacob Bergstrom was sidelined for six months after a situation in a practice match at the start of the year that no one saw as serious at first.
Was Callie Johansson hit on the head in the first half?
– He headed the ball a few times, so that can be the case. This is what we have to check now, if symptoms persist.
If we suspect it is a mild concussion, we must follow the brain ladder, says Carl Pearson. He’s doing fine now and has calmed down a bit.
In the next round on Sunday, IFK Gothenburg meets Djurgården away from home. Kaley Johansson has started playing in 20 out of 21 games for Blues this season.
