A Nigerian midfielder was knocked unconscious by his opponent during a division 2 league match in Spain.

Quadri Liameed was representing Sabadell against Albacete when the incident occurred on Saturday night.

Liameed was hit on the head by Albacete’s Jose Corpas who was attempting to volley a loose ball in the air.

The unfortunate Corpas hit Liameed who landed on the floor unconscious, and was rushed to the hospital for further treatment.

Sabadell revealed that Liameed regained consciousness at the hospital and was undergoing further observation and tests.

Following a 2-1 loss to Albacete, Sabadell revealed that the 24-year-old midfielder had been discharged from the hospital.

Tests returned no further medical issue, and he will return to Sabadell with the team.

“The best of the news has arrived! Quadri Limeed has received medical discharge after all the tests have come out well and will return tonight to Sabadell!

“We want to thank the medical services of Albacete for the help received at all times.”

Liameed has been a key player for Sabadell this season, featuring in all of the club’s 12 league matches.

He has provided three assists as Sabadell are nine points off the top in the race for La Liga promotion. (Weekend Trust)
