When the ball is in play in the middle of the field, the referee notices that a player lies on the ground and stops play because the player is seriously injured. The player leaves the field for treatment. How is play restarted?

THE DECISION

Play is restarted with a dropped ball for one player of the team that would have retained or gained possession if this can be determined by the referee; otherwise, it is dropped for one player of the team that last touched it. The ball is dropped at its position when play was stopped.
