Clarke Carlisle's family is hopeful he will make a full recovery after his collision with a lorry last week.
Carlisle, the former Premier League defender and Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) chairman, was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary with serious injuries following the incident last Monday, and underwent surgery the following day.
The 35-year-old's wife Gemma Carlisle posted a message on Twitter on Monday, saying: "Thank you for continuing messages of support and for media restraint.
"Clarke still very poorly but we're hopeful he'll make a full recovery."
