EASTLEIGH have confirmed that right-back Nick Akoto has been discharged from hospital after being stretchered off in the Spitfires' 1-0 win over Carlisle United.
Aaron Blair's 44th minute effort was enough to seal a fourth league victory of the campaign for Matt Gray's side.
However, the game had been brought to a halt for nine minutes earlier in the first half after Akoto landed awkwardly on his arm.
Physios and extra medics were waved onto the pitch and the 28 year old was eventually stretchered off the pitch at the Silverlake Stadium.
On Saturday evening, Eastleigh took to social media to post a picture of Akoto smiling while having his right arm in a sling.
Nick Akoto has been seen at the hospital and has since been discharged, with the hopes of making a speedy recovery.
We would like to thank players and staff of both teams, especially Frazer from Carlisle's medical team, for his assistance with Nick. pic.twitter.com/4v05SK6853— Eastleigh FC (@EastleighFC) September 19, 2026
