Seattle Sounders FC goalkeeper Stefan Freiis “back home resting” after suffering a head/neck injury in second-half stoppage time of his team’s 1-1 draw with the Columbus Crew on Sunday.
The 39-year-old collided with Crew midfielder Amar Sejdić when looking to collect a floated-in free kick, prompting medical personnel to rush onto the pitch during the Sunday Night Soccer presented by Continental Tire clash.
Frei was eventually removed from the Lumen Field turf in an ambulance and taken to a local hospital for further evaluation.
“I’m incredibly grateful to all the staff that looked after me and happy to be back home resting now,” Frei wrote on social media.
“What resonates is all the messages, calls and love I’ve received from so many of you. Thank you – truly. It means more than I can put into words.
