Ghanaian striker Raphael Dwamena, 28, died this Saturday during a game in the Albanian Championship. With a history of heart problems, he fainted on the field and couldn’t resist on the way to the hospital.

Dwamena, who played for Egnatia, had a spell in Spanish football, where he played for Levante and Zaragoza. In 2017, he was close to signing with Brigthon, but the English club detected a cardiac arrhythmia during medical examinations and withdrew the signing.
In 2021, when he was a player for Blau-Weiss, in Austria, Dwamena had already felt ill during a game, but survived thanks to a defibrillator implanted in his heart – similar to the one that Eriksen, from Manchester United, has.
