Wycombe Wanderers defensive midfielder Luke Leahy has thanked the club’s fans following his head injury in the recent 1-0 loss against Stevenage.
The defeat at Adams Park was overshadowed by two serious incidents involving the ex-Bristol Rovers man, and striker Brandon Hanlan, who both left the fixture via a stretcher.
Leahy, who has only been at the club since July, collided with teammate Josh Scowen when clearing a Boro cross in the 82nd minute of the fixture, where he suffered a concussion.
It has since been confirmed he was ‘unresponsive’ for several seconds before regaining consciousness by then he left the stadium, where he was taken straight to Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
Thank you to everyone that has messaged over the last couple of days, I appreciate every single one of them. Thank you to everyone associated with the club, the way you looked after me and especially my family is something we won’t forget! 💙 @wwfcofficial
