Astonishment, then relief. This Saturday, the Qatari club of Umm Salal certainly squandered a three-goal lead against Al-Arabi before winning on penalties (4-4, 1-3 on the tabs), in the final of the Qatar Stars Cup , but the main thing is elsewhere and concerns the health of Andy Delort.
While he had opened the scoring at the start of the match, the former Montpellier player (32 years old) was taken ill in the 17th minute of play. The Algerian international striker (15 caps, 2 goals), taken seriously convulsions, collapsed on the pitch, causing great concern among other players and staff members.
Fortunately, he regained consciousness a few minutes later. Delort was even able to return to his team’s bench to watch the end of the match. After half a season below expectations during his loan to Nantes (2 goals in 17 games), Andy Delort joined Umm Salal in July 2023 for around 2.5 million euros. The club finished in 10th place (out of 12) in the Championship last season. This season, he has scored 5 goals and 4 assists in 12 games.
