Ryan Mason statement: Hull City midfielder feels 'lucky to be alive' after skull fracture and thanks well-wishers

Hull midfielder Ryan Mason admits he feels 'lucky to be alive' after his horror head injury.

The 25-year-old fractured his skull against Chelsea earlier this month and spent eight days in hospital before being released on Monday.

Mason had been at St Mary's Hospital in London after undergoing surgery following a clash of heads with Gary Cahill in the first half of the Tigers' 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge on January 22.

In a statement, Mason wrote: "It has been an emotional rollercoaster and I feel lucky to be alive, but I'm happy to say I'm now at home resting and recovering.
