Marty Moore, the London Wasps and Ireland prop, has thankfully been discharged from hospital and allowed to return home after initial concerns that he might have suffered a serious neck injury during Wasps' match against the Newcastle Falcons on Sunday in the English Premiership.
Early on in the match when the incident occurred (at a collapsed scrum) there were concerns around the Ricoh Arena as Moore was being treated for a significant amount of time, the first half lasting about an hour as a result.
But on Sunday night Wasps released a statement on their website to reassure fans that Moore is safe and well:
Marty has been discharged from hospital, having been referred for scans as a precautionary measure. The CT scans of his neck were clear and he has since returned home. Marty will follow up with Wasps medical staff on Monday morning to assess his progress.
In September his boss at Wasps, Dai Young, said Moore - who signed the deal to move to Wasps for the 2016-17 season in January - had been a "fantastic signing" for Wasps and that he would be "very surprised if he is not back in the Ireland ranks shortly" (Moore wasn't picked for Ireland's November tests squad).
Moore has played ten times for Ireland since making his debut in the 2014 Six Nations.
