Please no,.
Looks like Kasper is consoling the player's wife/girlfriend.
This is horrendous.
Awful scenes. Puts everything into perspective.
Absolutely awful and terrible to see. Let's hope that he can pull through.
IIRC there was a Bolton player who collapsed with heart problems at Arsenal in the PL era? He made it. David Longhurst wasn't so fortunate, died whilst playing for York City v Lincoln City in 1990. Think there was a Scottish league player too, so it's not unheard of but this must be a first for a major tournament.
Just goes to show that you can take all the precautions possible and that players with head injuries must be withdrawn, but sport is always going to be a risk no matter what you do.
Brings it home, I had a friend collapse and die in front of me.
