Scarborough Athletic have released an update on the condition of their manager, Brian France.A statement on the club's website says: "As you are probably aware, Boro manager Brian France took a severe knock to the head from a football while stood in the dug-out at last Saturday's match against Liversedge.
"This event, although treated lightly by Brian at the time, preceded a further incident at his home later that evening, when he suffered a black-out and fell backwards down a flight of stairs which resulted in him being rendered unconscious.
"He was immediately taken by ambulance to the Hull Royal Infirmary where he was diagnosed as having a haemorrhage of the brain from the force of the ball hitting him. He also suffered three broken ribs and broken sternum from the fall on the stairs.
"At this moment in time, he remains under constant supervision in the Acute Assessment Unit at Hull Royal Infirmary, where tests are being carried out to ascertain the full impact of the first incident which it is believed, almost certainly lead to the second incident occurring. He is poorly but stable.
"The consultants and doctors have now fully assessed the situation and have assured the family that Brian will make a full recovery, but the process will be long, slow but above all, determined.
"We will issue a further statement in due course and ask that the family is allowed privacy at this time.
"Get well soon cards for Brian and family can be given to club directors at this Saturday's game, and will be passed to Brian at the earliest opportunity."
