Just checked, it was the treating physician:

Final edit. Looks like the trainer wasn't exactly on board, either.

I do not claim to know all the details or following the situation that closely. All I know is that there was a report that I saw that claimed the trainer and doctor said what took place was OK. Now those were reports which I would not be in the least bit surprised that did not tell the entire story or the story found other developments later on. Either way it goes, the point I was making is that this is why you want a doctor to give consent because a coach might play a player that is not capable to handle the trauma.
