Oxygen equipment helps hockey player return to action
Oxygen equipment has played its part in helping a hockey player return to the international fold after suffering injury.
Richard Mantell has been selected in England's Commonwealth Games squad that will head over to India in October.
And he will be going back to Delhi, where he was treated with oxygen equipment after suffering a broken ankle during a World Cup encounter in March.
The Reading defender said the doctor at the time was able to place the ankle back partially and "it was a slight relief … But after coming off and being given oxygen and morphine, doctors put it back fully".
Mantell is part of a 16-man ensemble that will make its way over to India and he is to be joined by his brother Simon, who has also been picked.
Oxygen equipment was recently utilised by football team Derby County to rejuvenate their striker Tomasz Cywka, who suffered a fractured cheekbone during an on-field collision.
