Jan Vertonghen injury leads to 'temporary concussion substitutions' calls
Jan Vertonghen was helped off the pitch by medical staff after appearing to lose his balance on returning to the action
Headway says a"reliable diagnosis" cannot be made on the pitch because the"pressure is enormous and unfair, particularly in high-stake games such as Champions League semi-finals". "Assessing a player for three minutes - or even five, as was the case with Jan Vertonghen - does not allow for medical staff to make a reliable diagnosis, particularly when this is conducted on the pitch under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans eager for the game to resume.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said he believed medical staff followed the correct protocols before allowing 32-year-old Belgian international Vertonghen back on the pitch.
