Huddersfield defender Smith airlifted to hospital
Tommy Smith was airlifted to hospital after sustaining a head injury late on in Huddersfield Town's 2-1 defeat to Leeds United.
Smith suffered the injury while attempting to prevent Leeds striker Billy Sharp from scoring a late winner in the West Yorkshire derby, and he required lengthy treatment on the pitch before leaving the field on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask.
Huddersfield subsequently released a statement on their official Twitter account, posting: "#htafc confirms Tommy Smith has been airlifted by Yorkshire Air Ambulance to Leeds General Infirmary for tests after suffering a head injury.
"The club will give further updates on Tommy Smith when we have further news from the hospital."
