Loyola's Fafaul OK after injury, may miss next game
Loyola quarterback Mike Fafaul spent the night in the hospital Friday after suffering a bruised liver on a hard sack during the Dons' game against Archbishop Spalding, coach Brian Abbott said.
Fafaul returned home Saturday but may miss the Dons' next game at home against Valley Forge (Pa.) on Saturday afternoon.
“Basically, we have to wait until his comfort level is back,” Abbott said of when Fafaul might return to practice. “He may be out for this week, but you never know. They heal pretty quick.”
The play came with 3:03 left in the second quarter of Friday night's game and the visiting Dons in the lead, but No. 7 Spalding scored 49 straight points before No. 13 Loyola’s next touchdown.
“We were doing great when he was in there,” Abbott said. “I just kind of think the boys were more worried about him [after the injury].”
