Geez, I hope so

After muamba every professional sport person started to have a check on their hearts it’s why the young cricketer had to stop james someone or other. It may just be hugely bad luck.

I guess you are correct , if he had a defect you'd expect it to flag up somewhere .

Or it literally just happened from nothing .

Awful

Be a powerful statement of what’s important to call it off if he dies. Can’t see it though. Next game kicks off at 8.

Pretty impossible to play the game again or change the schedule.

No idea what the right thing to do is, I imagine Boris will have something constructive to say

If he passes I’d be amazed if the 8 game goes ahead. It certainly shouldn’t.

He's had a serious cardiac arrest. You could see his face go after the sprint before he collapsed.

The medical teams will do what they can and they won't give up quickly, but this is some really serious shit.

As LG said, I'm only writing on here to distract me. It is completely shocking and I don't know what to say.

Though I can't trust Twitter and wouldn't put it past anyone to post up an old photo of him on a stretcher

not appropriate but in a good way hopefully appropriate

Do these athletes train too hard these days ?
Did this used to happen 30 years ago

Sometimes you can have a heart condition and not know about it until it hits you, doesn't matter how fit you are. I can speak from sad experience, I lost a dear friend at 18 to exactly that kind of thing, no-one even knew she had a heart condition until she'd passed away. Never had any symptoms or problems until that day.

AP have a photo of him sat up on the stretcher !


Posted above.

At least the biggest hospital in Copenhagen is only 500m from the ground so that is something

Hopefully a good sign

This is great to see

I've seen it too. I think it is genuine. If so that's about as positive as you can expect right now.

 

[Otis]

Is it legit though. A current photo. It does have the Finland flag in the background.

Really really odd time to bring politics into it tbh mate.

Just seen a picture on twitter too, and he's awake.
Looks like finland and denmark kits/flags
Hopefully the lad's ok

EDIT....removed media as pic already posted

 

[hill83]

Happy days. Fucking hell

Its genuine on the Getty images site.

Hopefully he is stable

The human body is complicated. I grew up with a girl who was a sporty P.E. teacher who had an aneurysm in her 40s. yet have a mate who must have averaged 30 plus pints/100 fags a week for 40 years (whose dad passed away with a heart condition) yet is somehow still going strong. That saying about 'man makes plans and god laughs' comes to mind. Anyway, fingers crossed for CE.

 

[Evo1883]

When all is said and done , if that's legitimate he's a very lucky boy and the medical staff have done a wonderful job

I wish him well , and hope he makes full recovery

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

That pic is very promising. What a monumental effort by the medics

Putting a heart like up seems wrong, I’m trying to say fantastic that it looks like it might not be the worst case scenario.

I didn’t see anything building up to it, turned TV on to see him convulsing and the CPR happening, truly haunting scenes.

don’t know how it works but should they really have been streaming that into everyone’s homes? Seemed a bit sick tbh

Thank fuck for that. He certainly looks to be in some state of recovery.

 

[TomRad85]

Fair play.

Yep that is great news. When muamba had a heart attack did they postpone a number of their games for a few weeks? Some really difficult decisions for a lot of people coming up

 

[Otis]

Group hug

 

[jordan210]

Not sure who it is. But one of the Denmark players moved his tongue. That guys a hero.

Looks like it was Kjaer

 

[TomRad85]

Sky Sports News just reported he's sitting up. I'm camping on there now waiting for news.

Had a major cardiac arrest a few years back. For myself, it has taken a long time to get back on my feet. Also, it affects people in different ways.
