Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai calls for medical protocol change after Barnabás Varga sustains serious injury at Euros
"When contacted by CNN about whether it was reviewing its medical procedures, UEFA – European soccer’s governing body – said in a statement: “In the 62nd minute, Hungary player number 19 Barnabás Varga fell to the ground due to colliding with another player.
“After medical assistance was provided to the player on the pitch, he regained full consciousness and was taken to the hospital for further observation. At the moment, we can confirm that the player is in a stable condition, conscious, and communicating.”
Csoboth celebrated his late winner with a shirt with Varga’s name on the back and the whole team posed with a similar shirt after the victory in support for the striker.
“It was a confusing situation,” Hungary coach Marco Rossi told reporters after the match. “What I heard from the players is that Barny at that moment looked like he was not conscious so everyone was really worried about his condition and also worried about the fact that the doctors arrived a bit late, we can say.
“But of course, they probably didn’t realize it was a dangerous situation. Now fortunately, we can say that Barny is not under any kind of risk.
“Probably he will be operated in the coming hours because he suffered a fracture here [pointing to his cheek/eye socket]. But he’s healthy, that’s the most important thing. If we go through the competition of course he will not be part of the team anymore.”
*Ar trebui mai multe reguli schimbate si in acel sport care a devenit cu totul altceva in ultima vreme. Cica este altfel sanatos Varga si ei se vor spala pe mana ca nu sint devina pentru nimic ce se intampla pe teren. O sa joace fotbal doar puscariasi in viitor.*
