Medical treatment was rendered to Mr. Garnett immediately after the Medical Team was summoned onto the pitch by the standing Referee.
An assessment was made of the injury, and it was advised that the player be taken to the Hospital for further assessment. He was taken to the Diamond Diagnostic Hospital where he underwent further checks and examinations including an ultrasound.

“The Executive of the E.B.F.A wishes to assure the family, relatives, and friends of Mr.
Garnett that we are and will be with them throughout the coming days and weeks as we all pray for a full recovery of Domini.
