Rangers defender Fernando Ricksen has been released from hospital.
The Dutch international defender, who was carried off the field
in Rangers's Champions Leagueng match with a serious head
injury during Rangers's 1-1 Champions League draw against German outfit VfB Stuttgart,
has had 5 stitches. Ricksen still has a considerable swelling
around the temple and is still suffering from
concussion and it it expected
that he will be sidelined for a further three
weeks. Berg, who was involved in the head on
collision with Ricksen is finally beginning to recover for the shock.
Berg: "I got a real fright at the time because he was
unconscious on the pitch and all kinds of things go through your mind
when that happens. Players have swallowed their tongues in incidents
like that. He crumpled to the turf straight away after I collided with
him and I thought he was really badly injured.
"He was out of it and when that happens you have to get the
doctor on the park right away. I was
worried when I went into the dressing room at half-time but he was just
coming round."
