I made sure I saw him and his family and hopefully everything will be okay."Huddersfield said in a short statement on Twitter that the 22-year-old suffered a head injury."#htafc confirms Tommy Smith has been airlifted by @YorkshireAirAmb to Leeds General Infirmary for tests after suffering a head injury," said the club in a post."#htafc will give further updates on Tommy Smith when we have further news from the hospital."
