There is doubt about the possibility of the Colombian national team relying on its young star, Linda Caicedo, for the remainder of its career in the FIFA Women’s World Cup, which will be hosted by Australia and New Zealand, after it collapsed the day before yesterday, Thursday, during a training session.
Video clips were published of the Colombian national team’s exercises in the suburbs of Sydney, showing the 18-year-old, who moved this year from Deportivo to Real Madrid, exercising with her teammates in preparation for the second round of Group H matches that will be held tomorrow against Germany, before placing her hand on the left side of her chest.
The cancer survivor, who scored in her country’s opening victory against South Korea (2-0), tried to sit down, but she fell to the ground and lost consciousness amid the panic of her colleagues.
The Spanish Real Madrid player regained consciousness before being transferred on a stretcher to the ambulance, which took her to the hospital.
The training session was canceled after what happened, and the media was asked to leave the stadium, especially since some of her colleagues were in a difficult psychological situation as a result of their fear for the life of the player, who has become one of the most famous sports stars in her country, as she led her country last year to the quarter-finals of the World Cup U-20. A few weeks later, she and her teammates lost to Spain, 0-1, to the FIFA U-17 World Cup final.
