Shrewsbury Town defender Sam Stubbs, 27, suffered a concussion in the match against Barnet on Saturday and is set to be sidelined for three weeks. The incident occurred just one minute into the game, and Stubbs was forced to leave the pitch.
According to the Shropshire Star, Stubbs underwent a SCAT6 assessment, which is a concussion assessment tool. The statutory time for concussion recovery is normally three weeks, and it seems that Stubbs will be following this timeline.
