Dennis Cirkin has taken to social media to express his delight at scoring the equaliser for Millwall at Sunderland. The defender headed the Black Cats back on level terms ten minutes from time at The Den, securing a point in a 1-1 draw.
However, he took a fist in the face from Millwall keeper George Long for his troubles, with Mowbray revealing that Cirkin was knocked unconscious for a spell and was substituted with concussion, meaning he must now sit out Wednesday's FA Cup fourth-round replay against Fulham at the Stadium of Light as part of the protocols that govern head injuries in football.
The defender could return for the Black Cats clash with Reading next weekend, if he recovers well. Taking to social media, Cirkin said: “Felt good to be back out there yesterday and help the team.”
