Heart attack ! When you look at how much they get paid as a footballer one has to remember the risk/ hazard involved. He probably left home in the morning, kiss wife and children bye, see you after practice but unknown to him the time is now to meet the creator! RIP

Goahead:



One less threat for the Super Eagles.

It'd be so devastating when we rile up their grieves in Russia.

Chai!

I asked this question some time ago and never got an answer.

What happens to the match? Does it continue after a substitute is made or is the match scrapped because of the trauma on his teammates, opponents and spectators?

What if it happened in a World Cup match for instance?

Unik3030:
this picture is getting boring, almost on every thread

Hhenryy:


In standard/well organized football matches like the world cup you are talking about, the medics don't break the news immediately or give room for any suspicion. It's usually after the match.

When a player collapses, nobody thinks about death immediately. It also takes some time before death is confirmed and the player must have been taken out of the pitch for further medical attention. So his teammates cannot know for sure, they can only hope nothing bad happens to him/her.

The match continues afterwards with a replacement. The team will get to know about the condition of their colleague after the match.

lobell:


Thanks for your reply. But in this particular case, it was clear he was dead from the reactions of the players. As in the medics could not have concealed that information from them...what happens in that scenario?

Machinegun91:
where is the ball that hiFts him?

Hhenryy:


A very unprofessional conduct from the medics. I read it elsewhere that they even pronounced him dead on the pitch and his teammates were devastated.

There is no known rule on what the referee is permitted to do in such cases, (because Ideally, a player can't die and immediately be declared officially on the pitch like that) but it is most likely the game will continue after some delay, but the incident will definitely have an effect on the outcome of the game.

The referee can only suspend or cancel a match if fans invade the pitch during play with the intent to cause harm to players. in such case, the ref can cancel a match.
