Roma have announced that Evan Ndicka has been given a clean bill of health and is allowed to resume playing after his scary on-pitch collapse earlier this month.
The 24-year-old Ivorian centre back was at the centre of distressing scenes on April 14th, when he collapsed off the ball in the second half of the Giallorossi’s Serie A clash with Udinese. He was immediately rushed to hospital and the match was abandoned.
Initial tests suggested that Ndicka didn’t suffer a heart attack and further examinations confirmed that he’d avoided any cardiac issues, instead suffering from a collapsed left lung. He was released from hospital the following day.
Ndicka cleared
As announced by Roma, Ndicka has been given a clean bill of health following a round of cardiological and pulmonary tests at the Villa Stuart medical clinic, and as such is eligible to resume sporting activity.
The 24-year-old will return to training in the coming days and could be part of the match squad for the coming clash with Napoli on April 28th.
Well well well, wasn’t Lotito correct than?
