PUERTA STILL IN CRITICAL CONDITION

Sevilla wing-back Antonio Puerta remains in a critical condition in hospital, the latest medical report has confirmed.

The 22-year-old Spain international was rushed to the Hospital Virgen del Rocio in Seville after collapsing on the pitch during the first half of Saturday's Primera Liga encounter with Getafe.

Puerta was able to walk from the pitch after being attended by medical staff who prevented him swallowing his tongue, but then collapsed again in the changing rooms and was given cardiac resuscitation.

Monday's medical report by Dr Francisco Murillo, head of the intensive care unit at the hospital, read: "Puerta still needs assisted ventilation and is sedated as a consequence of suffering from prolonged cardiac arrest.

"The cardiac arrest was caused by repetitive serious ventricular arrhythmias.

"At this time, the ventricular arrhythmia is under control with the treatment given to the patient.

"After 36 hours, the patient's prognosis is still critical following the consequences of the cardiac arrest, which included brain suffering."

The report was the third since Puerta was admitted to the hospital.

Been a few. One or 2 last year IIRC and a few before that. My point is this are professional sportsmen who are in peak fitness with all the monitoring and tests that go with it that are suddenly dropping dead.
 
There have been quite a few 'live' soccer fatalities. Youtube probably has most of them.
 
i hear you alan, but tests dont always find stuff

dont think for one second that because your at peak level physically you wont have a problem

these okes push their bodies to the limit and back man, there has to some risk involved in that
 
Oh God This Incident Shows The Amount Of Pressure Mounted On Players.

Guys Anything Can Happen To Anyone At Anytime, We Live To Die

Its Not The End Of The World That One Soccer Player Died
