"Obviously we have no idea what the diagnosis is at the moment but it looked bad. Apart from that, it was a fantastic win here.

"From the moment it happened, I think you saw Mo already shouting to the side that it was really serious. Then you look at the reaction of Harvey and you basically know that it's really serious."
