Thank you for your patience, with so much having happened since yesterday we wanted to first ensure that the information we shared out is reliable and stable.
As previewed earlier, Dimitri has been admitted to hospital in Glasgow (and may yet be transferred within the City) and has undergone a range of assessments and tests – with more planned – to investigate the pain from his right hand side/back area, and right wrist.
Dimitri has been made as comfortable as possible, and currently is being detained within a high dependency unit more so for observation. The doctors believe he may have suffered some damage/bruising to his kidney area and have elected to run more tests to determine the best course of action. It looks likely that, at best, he will remain in hospital for the majority of this week.
Doctors do not believe he has suffered any breakage to his wrist.
With his family around him he, and they, are in good spirits generally, and have even been playing back the heat 15 crash to the hospital staff! Neeless to say that, in true speedway style, Dimitri has already spoken about getting back on track!
Clearly, and rightly, we are only concerned with Dimitri’s health and well being and that we see him on the road to a quick recovery.
At the moment we are preparing to have to rest him for a little while – we can only confirm this further at the end of the week.
Given that he remains in high dependency, and is with his family, we ask that everyone respects their privacy at this time. If supporters would like to send best wishes please, for now, do so via email to info@glasgowtigers.co and we will ensure these are passed on to him. If you would particularly like to send him a card, for now, please hand these in at the turnstile this Sunday and again we will pass these to Dimitri.
Many thanks for your patience and understanding.
