Stunner for Hungary
Hungary forward Barnabás Varga is in hospital in stable condition after a mid-air collision with Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon during the Euro 2024 match on Sunday. The incident occurred in the 35th minute of the match and saw Varga taken from the field on a stretcher after he was unable to stand up.
Initial reports from the hospital indicate that Varga has suffered a fractured cheekbone but will not require surgery. Doctors will continue to assess Varga in the coming days
"It was a scary moment for Varga and the team," Hungary coach Marco Rossi said after the match. "We are relieved to hear that he is stable and not seriously injured. We will continue to monitor his progress and hope to have him back on the pitch soon."
The match between Scotland and Hungary was paused for 10 minutes while Varga received treatment. The game eventually resumed, with Scotland going on to win 2-0. The incident served as a reminder of the risks involved in playing at the highest level of football.
Conclusion: The injury to Varga is a major blow for Hungary, who are already facing an uphill battle to qualify for the knockout stages of Euro 2024. Varga is one of the team's most important players and his absence will be a major loss. The team will now have to find a way to cope without him as they look to salvage their tournament.
