Man Utd's James Denies Getting Knocked Out in Wales Draw

Manchester United winger Daniel James says he was not knocked out in Wales’ 1-1 Euro 2020 qualifying draw with Croatia on Sunday evening.

There was concern for the 21-year-old early on as he lay on the turf after receiving a blow to the head from Croatia defender Domagoj Vida, shortly after former Everton winger Nikola Vlasic had opened the scoring.

James got up and played on to full-time as Gareth Bale secured an impressive draw for Wales against last year’s World Cup finalists.

“[I’m] fine,” James told Sky Sports after the game. “He caught me in the head. I didn’t get knocked out.

“We knew it was going to be tough. It was a quick turnaround. We started well, although we conceded.

“To get the goal back showed character. There were a few tackles flying in but you expect that in these games.

“We've shown what a great team we are. It was about bouncing back.”
