VIDEO ⟩ “AS Roma” football player got sick on the field in the Italian championship

During the visit of “AS Roma” to “Udinese”, in the second half, the 24-year-old defender became cold and probably suffered a heart attack. He was carried from the field on a stretcher and when he left the field, the football player was conscious and showed a thumbs up.

The Roma team announced after the match that Ndika was taken to the hospital for examinations.

“Evan is feeling better, he is in good spirits. He will remain under the supervision of doctors for tests at the hospital,” the Roma club said in a statement.

In the 23rd minute, Roberto Pereira put the home team in the lead, but in the 64th minute, Romelu Lukaku equalized.

The game was suspended in the 72nd minute with the score tied at 1-1 and will be completed on another date set by the Italian Serie A.

Portal “Transfermarkt” estimates that the value of the player is 23 million euros.
