- 1745
Harlequins fly-half Demetri Catrakilis remains in hospital after sustaining a small fracture to a bone in his throat during the match against Gloucester Rugby on Saturday.
The South African stopped breathing for a few seconds and required oxygen after taking a shoulder to the throat in the 13th minute.
“He was struggling to breathe on the pitch, it just wasn’t clearing. It alarmed (the medics), which meant he needed to get oxygen and get to hospital and get checked out,” John Kingston, Harlequins director of rugby said.
The 28 year-old does not require surgery and an update will follow with regards to his recovery.
