Samuel Kalu, ex-AA Gent, collapses on the field | Foreign Football

The squad’s medical team arrived in the hot evening in Marseille with a stretcher, while Kalu was shielded by the players from Bordeaux and Marseille. The Nigerian was brought to his senses and was able to get up on his own. With the help of the doctors, he walked off the field with an ice bag to his head. Kalu came back for a while, but was substituted a few minutes later.

The crowd at the Stade Velodrome fell silent for a moment and the incident brought back memories of Christian Eriksen collapsing in the European Championship game against Finland after suffering a cardiac arrest. The Dane was resuscitated and is doing well.
