Hungary player Barnabas Varga is reportedly stable in hospital after he was stretchered off the pitch in the country’s Euro 2024 match against Scotland.
The Hungary forward went down in the second half after an apparent clash with Scotland’s goalkeeper Angus Gunn following a free kick.
Hungary players quickly signalled Varga was in trouble and were incensed by the time the medical teams were taking to get over to help treat the player.
Update:
Scotland knocked out by late Hungary goal
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, the Hungarian captain, was in tears as medical staff responded to his teammate, according to TV commentary of the game.
The Hungary team formed a shield around Varga while he received treatment and TV cameras panned away.
The game was held up as Varga required lengthy treatment.
After several minutes, Varga was eventually taken away on a stretcher as both sets of fans applauded.
He has since been taken to hospital.
A VAR check for a possible penalty came to nothing.
Scotland were later knocked out of Euro 2024 after losing the match 1-0 to Hungary thanks to a late goal in added time.
