  "account": "Nigerian footballer Quadri Liameed was taken to the hospital after receiving a head kick during a Spanish second-division match between Sabadell and Albacete on Saturday. The incident occurred in the 42nd minute when Albacete's José Corpas committed a dangerous challenge, striking Liameed right outside the box. The 24-year-old midfielder lost consciousness for a brief period, leading medical staff from both clubs to rush to his aid. Liameed was fitted with a neck brace and transported by ambulance to Hospital Quirón Santa Cristina for examination. Albacete's forward was shown a straight red card, and the match was halted for approximately nine minutes. Sabadell confirmed that Liameed was conscious and undergoing tests, with initial results indicating positive findings. The club announced on November 1 that Liameed had been discharged from the hospital, expressing gratitude to the medical personnel who treated him. The Nigerian player returned to Sabadell by car with a club medical staff member. Liameed's father, Hajji Gafar, stated that his son was now in stable condition and expected to undergo a Buffalo Concussion Bike Test within 48 hours. Despite the injury, Albacete won the match 2-1, playing with one fewer player due to Corpas's ejection. Born in Lagos on April 8, 2002, Liameed started his football career with Lagos-based 36 Lion FC before moving to Spain, where he played for Lleida Esportiu before joining Sabadell in July 2025. Corpas may face a ban between four and 12 matches under Spanish football disciplinary code Article 102, depending on the severity of the injury.",
