Kamil Grabara is set for a spell on the sidelines, having suffered a head injury for Huddersfield Town in midweek.
The 21-year-old collided with teammate Christopher Schindler in the Terriers’ 2-1 win at Hull City on Tuesday, falling unconscious and eventually being stretchered off.
Speaking to reporters, Huddersfield manager Danny Cowley said he hopes to have Grabara available again in late February, at the earliest:
Kamil has been discharged from hospital, which is good news. He’s much better in himself.
We anticipate, best-case scenario, 28 days. He will see a neurosurgeon, which will give us the length of his injury.

This is a big setback for Grabara, in my opinion, with the Pole enjoying a productive season-long loan spell at Huddersfield.
The youngster has played in 28 of his side’s 29 Championship matches, with the Terriers sitting 19th in the table.
I believe Grabara has the potential to be a long-term understudy to Alisson at Liverpool, should that be a route he wants to take.
He was nominated for Tuttosport‘s Golden Boy award last year – Atletico Madrid striker Joao Felix eventually won the prize – which highlights his potential.
For the time being, I think Adrian is ideal for that role, but at 33, he doesn’t represent the long-term future in the way Grabara does.
That being said, I believe regular first-team football would be more beneficial for Grabara moving forward.
He won’t be good enough to usurp Alisson any time soon, so a permanent move elsewhere could make sense, possibly to Huddersfield, or a club of that ilk.
