Tom Bender on the mend after horror clash!
The 18-year-old was knocked unconscious in a collision during the Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie against Tranmere.
"I was massively relieved to be discharged from hospital," the teenager told the club's website.
"It shows I'm on the mend and I'd like to thank everyone from Accrington and Tranmere and the medical staff. We couldn't have wished for any more."
He added: "I wasn't expecting to get so much support from people inside and outside of football after the injury. It's been absolutely amazing.
"I've still got an absolutely banging headache and feel a bit sick but I've been told that's all normal for the injury I've had and that I can expect to have it from anything from a couple of days to a couple of weeks.
Woke up this morning to the great news that he is on the mend, really feared the worst for the young lad when I checked my twitter Tuesday night to see rumours going round that he might have broken his neck. Absolutely fantastic to hear that he is going to make a full recovery. I knew the player very well albeit through a computer game, I had signed him on football manager earlier this year so I almost felt as if I knew the lad better than most people. Cant wait to see him back on the football pitch, top player and I wish him the best in his future!
Why not give him a follow on twitter and lend your support.
