striker through on goal and keeper rushes out to just outside box. striker tries to knock ball past keeper at knee height. Gk spreads himself and saves ball with knee but then collides with striker Injuring him.

Decision?

Have to be there really.

If the goal keeper was careless / reckless / excessive force then its a foul. If not if the other team don't immediately have an opportunity to score. Stop Play. Let the injured player get treated. Then drop ball to the keeper.
 
If the tackle was fair and genuine, but he caught the striker I'd play on (given severity of the injury of course).

The nature of the way GK flew into the tackle dictates that though I suppose.
