He also suffered a brain contusion and a mild traumatic brain injury that left him in confusion for some time.
"Luckily, the muscles of his neck were stiff, thus avoiding a possible injury to his cervical spine," said the club's doctor, Yassuo Yoshida.

It was a potentially deadly kick indeed, good for him he survived

Thanks for the info! I did not know he survived.
