Spurs defender was taken to hospital with head injury

Tottenham Hotspur defender Vedran Corluka has regained consciousness after he was taken to hospital following a head injury suffered in Sunday's 2-1 loss at Stoke City. Corluka's chin was caught by the knee of team-mate Heurelho Gomes as the goalkeeper attempted to clear a Potters set-piece. The Croatia international underwent head and neck X-rays and it has been stated that he seemed to suffer no serious injury. A Tottenham spokesman: "He has regained consciousness and has had head and neck X-rays and everything appears to be okay." Lengthy medical attention on the pitch followed the incident before Corluka left on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask and was taken straight into a pitch-side ambulance.
