It happened in the 23. Minute. After a corner kick by Ricardo Rodriguez, Fabian Schär and the Georgians rise together Jemal Tabidse in an air duel and clash hard with the heads. The Swiss Central defender sags to the ground. Team-mates to rush. And the Georgian Jano Ananidse reacts of mind and takes warping in the mouth, not swallowed his tongue.

pictures: warping is strike-through

Around three and a half minutes, the Medical team of the two teams, the players provide it. The warping occurs because for a long time. And then plays more. That was reasonable? After the game, skerry said in Tbilisi to this newspaper: “I was away and had a bit of a spongy feeling. I spoke with the doctor. I then said that I would try it, as long as it goes. It is then gone for good. The head buzzing but a little bit.”

A severe blow to the head, lost consciousness, the problems when you get Up. There are Doctors who have moved to these symptoms, the emergency brake and warping do not continue to play. Damian Meli, team doctor of the national team, decided otherwise. He Schär was looking for the “Sport Concussion Assessment Tool” and found no neuropsychological deficits. In these Tests, the injured athlete needs to solve, for example, arithmetic problems, counting backwards, or say where he is.

For the previous Fifa medical Chief Jiri Dvorak is the action of Meli in order. But he also says: For a clean clarification, it actually needs more than the nearly five minutes that it was in the archipelago. He argues, therefore, in such cases, for the possibility of replacing a player temporarily and to examine carefully. “It takes 8 to 10 minutes,” says Dvorak.

Schär played through the prelude to the European championship qualification. “I knew, if it gets worse, I need to watch out for. But fortunately that was not the case. It was worth it.” Because the archipelago had in a 2:0 victory of the national team in two gates of the foot in the game. And to his luck, he also on the day after the game, not worrying symptoms. So he is on Tuesday against Denmark. (ete/ukä)
