Chelsea Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois Questions 'Strange' Loris Karius UCL Final Concussion Reports

Chelsea's Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has questioned whether medical reports that claimed Liverpool's Loris Karius suffered a concussion should be used as an excuse for his performance in the Champions League final defeat last month.

Karius collided with Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos in the second half, shortly before the first of two calamitous mistakes that cost Liverpool the match as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Los Blancos.

Tbf to Karius, the first time I was concussed I couldn’t remember being hit by Mark Viduka and showed no visible signs of concussion apart from a short term memory loss that lasted 48 hours days and ended hospitalized for 4 days and unable to train 8 weeks.
