He sounds like me after 20 mins

Was given the all clear after that.

It's that sudden death issue I'd be wary of. It's more common in black athletes especially ones with existing heart conditions. I wouldn't want to spend that sort of money and he bloody goes and dies on the field. That said, it would still represent better value for money than Markovic.

But what was the cause of that? I recall Marc-Vivien Foe. ...

Guinea midfielder Naby Keita joined German Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in June 2016

RB Leipzig's coach Ralph Hasenhuettl said they are investigating why Guinea midfielder Naby Keita collapsed in the dressing room area following a Bundesliga game on Saturday.

Having played the 90 minutes of Leipzig's 1-0 defeat to Wolfsburg, 22-year-old Keita lost consciousness shortly after leaving the dressing room and was taken to hospital once his condition stabilised.

On Sunday, the club said his test results are in order and he may have suffered a circulatory collapse brought on by exertion but they want to find out the exact cause.

"He spent the night in hospital and he's feeling better. All the test results are okay," said Hasenhuettl.

"It seemed to be the fault of his circulation, he burnt himself out yesterday (during the game).

"For sure, we will continue to look for causes in the next few days.

"It was probably a combination of several factors. I am glad that there is no deeper disorder. His test results were all okay, that is why we have to look at what was the cause."

Haha. Half of our team die on the pitch every week.

Haha. Half of our team die on the pitch every week.

And the other half i wish would

 

[Fabio]

Also, don't see how he could have got the all clear

A lot of underlying heart conditions take ages to diagnose. Especially on the electrical side

A player actually dying during a game would make my ratings a challenge. Can you imagine?

Markovic (6). Started well, with some clever runs and decent use of the ball, but went missing after a few heavy tackles, and then died. Would have been subbed anyway, though.

If it was Lucas that died you'd probably give him 10 and MotM - as he'd finally have done something useful on the pitch.

Let's face, being dead wouldn't affect his mobility greatly.

Of course, being Lucas, he'd probably get a new contract out of it.

Looks good.

And still somehow get picked by the next manager.

I know - it's like a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, all tied up with an enigma...

It's like Lucas has figured out how to re-boot the matrix all by himself - to be with us forever!!!!!
