West Ham defender Dan Potts released from hospital after frightening head injury scare at Arsenal

Dan Potts thanked well-wishers last night on his release from hospital after a head-injury scare.

West Ham defender Potts, 18, was knocked out cold following an accidental clash with Arsenal’s Bacary Sagna in the 5-1 defeat at the Emirates on Wednesday.

He spent the night in hospital being treated for concussion and underwent further tests yesterday.

The England Under-19 full-back, son of former Hammers star Steve, will now rest before resuming light training in the gym.

Potts said: “A big thank you to everyone for their support and messages.

“Hopefully I am looking to feeling better over the next few days.”
