A male soccer player was struck in the head with a soccer ball. Players state that he was dazed for several seconds following the impact and then asked the same questions over and over.​ Presently, he is conscious and oriented to​ person, but confused about place and time. He also has a reddened area to the side of his head and face. As you proceed with your​ assessment, his memory continues to improve. Based on these​ findings, the EMT should suspect which type of​ injury?
