Hull boss to visit Ryan Mason following Fulham clash

Hull City boss, Marco Silva, says he plans to visit midfielder Ryan Mason in hospital following the side's FA Cup clash away to Fulham.

Mason has been in St Mary's Hospital, London, recovering from surgery after fracturing his skull in a collision with Chelsea captain, Gary Cahill on Sunday evening.

Play was stopped for nine minutes as Mason was treated on the pitch and then rushed to hospital. On Tuesday the club said Mason, who joined from Spurs in the summer, was making "excellent" progress and speaking to medics about the incident.
