A huge scare in Udine. In the 72nd minute, at a time when the home team was drawing (1-1) with Roma, Ndicka complained about his chest and fell helplessly on the pitch. Assisted immediately, the Ivorian central defender of the Romans left, minutes later, on a stretcher but conscious towards the hospital. According to the team’s instructions, the player did have a heart problem, but his life will not be at risk. Players from both teams considered that there were no conditions to continue the match and the referee accepted. It will be resumed at a later date, especially because the Roma delegation returned to the capital after a quick visit to the hospital to visit Ndicka, who was in good spirits but remained hospitalized for observation.

We are still alive”, said Rafael Leão on social media. By Record
