Thomas spoke about Hislop's health
Thomas tweeted, "Shaka is conscious. The medics are looking after him."
During the halftime presentation, Thomas spoke about Hislop's health, and said, "He's conscious he's talking. I think he's a little embarrassed about it all he says he's apologized profusely—not a man who likes people to make a fuss of him."
Wishing the ace goalkeeper a speedy recovery!
