The tests to which the Giallorossi centre-back underwent averted cardiac implications
Moments of fear for Evan Ndicka. Roma’s Ivorian central defender, in the 72nd minute of the match against Udinese, he touched his chest twice and then collapsed to the ground. The doctors’ intervention was rapid, the former Eintracht Frankfurt player left the pitch on a stretcher. Then it was transported in code yellow at the Santa Maria della Misericordia hospital in Udine.
A sigh of relief for the players, who asked and obtained from the referee Pairetto to postpone what remains to be played of the match (probably May 15th will be the date), and for the entire Roma environment, which in the evening on social media tried to calm everything down: “The team visited Ndicka in hospital. Evan feels better and is in good spirits. He will remain under observation for tests in hospital“.
From the tests carried out, the hypothesis that it could have been a heart attack was dispelled. According to what he writes based on the cardiological and neurological tests (including a CT scan) carried out in the evening, for Ndicka it could have been a lung compression with possible pneumothorax. It could have been caused by some clashes the defender had during the match. The strongest in the 38th minute, the other two between the 66th and 70th minutes, i.e. just before the Ivorian felt unwell. As reporteda Sky Sport I’m sorry This morning he will do further tests in hospital. The medical bulletins will be managed directly by Roma, in contact with the club doctor who remains in hospital. In the next few hours, based on the tests, it will be possible to evaluate when he will be discharged from the hospital.
