James Milner won't play in Sunday's league game at Spurs because of concussion protocols, according to the coach.
James Milner had to be taken out of the game in the second half because of a head injury.
The boss said that the players came back to the field after the half-time break.
"We don't want to push a player through with a head injury," he stated.
It's hard. You need two sources, one is the doctor and the other is the patient.
He was fine after getting a real check on the pitch.
"After calming down, 'Millie' came out into the lights and said 'Woah, what is going on here?'"
The player sat down and we took him off because he realized that it was not good.
There is no chance for the player to say "I am fine" if the doctor thinks he is not all right.
In the first half, Milner suffered a blow to the head and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
The current concussion protocols are jeopardising player safety according to the Professional Footballers' Association.
Changes should be made by the International Football Association Board before the season starts.
There is no provision in European football for an additional permanent concussion substitute to be used if a player sustains a head injury in the premier league.
The Villa goalkeeper took a blow to the head after colliding with his teammate.
According to Villa, all protocols were followed when it came to medical treatment.
While he is happy with the current guidelines for concussions, he admitted that finding better ways to treat head injuries is difficult.
He doesn't think 15 minutes is the right time to wait for the concussion to kick in.
People say after an hour it starts. I believe the way we do it is the right way.
To be completely honest, it doesn't happen that often. We can talk about it, but the boys are not always in danger.
We have a solution for it that is better than ever before. There is room for improvement. It's probably a possibility. I'm not sure how.
