Returns to team hotel
Burki (head) has been discharged from the hospital and returned to the team hotel, according to Matt Baker of Flyover Footy.
Analysis: This is an encouraging step after Burki was taken to a hospital for evaluation following Wednesday's head injury. However, further tests will be needed to determine whether he'll be available this weekend to face Real Salt Lake on Saturday. If he's not available, Ben Lundt would be in line to take his place between the posts.
Hospitalized after head injury
Burki (head) was transported to a local hospital for precautionary medical evaluation and testing after sustaining a head injury during Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup final against Columbus, according to the club.
Analysis: Burki suffered the injury after taking an opponent's knee to the head while attempting a one-on-one save, forcing him to leave Wednesday's match on a stretcher. The St. Louis captain was subsequently taken to a hospital for further evaluation, with the club confirming that he remains alert and in good spirits. The severity of the injury and his recovery timeline remain unclear, with further updates expected following medical assessments. Ben Lundt replaced Burki during the match and would be the likely option in goal if the Swiss goalkeeper is forced to miss additional time.
