“Also a massive thankyou to all the medical staff at the club for helping me, something that may go unnoticed but without them we wouldn’t get the care we need and as quickly as we do.”
Hinshelwood has commented after the match: “We’ve got Ryan, he’s conscious. As he’s gone down, he’s just caught Luca Thomas’ knee and had a big cut on the side of his head.
“He was unconscious for a bit, so we were just making sure that he’s conscious.
“That was the message at half-time, to do it for our teammate.
“He’s an unbelievable lad and an unbelievable character. We’re glad that Cal [Howe] managed to salvage a point late in the game.
“All of our thoughts are with him now in making sure that he’s okay.”
