"Our thoughts remain with him and his family this evening, and we hope that he makes a full and speedy recovery."
Pritchard went viral three months ago after he came to the aid of a Newcastle supporter when watching as a fan during their game against Tottenham Hotspur, where he performed CPR on the man, which went on to save his life.
Prichard, who also works as a junior doctor, told the
BBC back in October that hearing his named chanted was one of the "best moments" of his life.

He said: “It’s something you see at work fairly often, but I haven’t really had this outside of the hospital before.
“There was an elderly gentleman laid out on the seats in cardiac arrest, and CPR ongoing.
"Luckily, St Johns were fairly quick, got the pads on quickly. Took over CPR.
"Another friend, Matty, who sits next to me came over as well, and we gave the guy a shock through the defibrillator.
"He was quite fortunate, as well, as very quickly an intensive care doctor arrived, a cardiologist arrived, and we were able to bring him back again."
