‘Sékou is conscious, stable and communicating’ – United
Manchester United Under-21s’ National League Cup tie at Tamworth was abandoned because of an injury to the midfielder Sékou Koné.
The Group A game at the Lamb Ground on Wednesday night was suspended after Koné went down as a result of a clash of heads as he helped to defend a corner.
Koné was treated on the pitch for around 15 minutes and after the half-time whistle had been blown, the 19-year-old Mali youth international was carried off on a stretcher with a mask placed on his face. It was later announced that the game had been abandoned with the score at 0-0.
