Dundee FC have revealed that Mo Sylla is still under medical care after a distressing incident where he collapsed in the dressing room post-first half against Aberdeen on Saturday.
The 30-year-old midfielder, having played the initial half of the clash, suffered the worrying setback during the interval and was swiftly taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.
In a statement released on Sunday, the club confirmed: “The club would like to provide a short update on the condition of Mo Sylla after Mo took unwell yesterday in the Dundee dressing room at half-time.
“Mo was quickly attended to by the club’s medical team and paramedics. “He was transferred to Ninewells Hospital Accident and Emergency Department and by this point was responsive and talking to those around him.”
The statement added: “After an initial assessment, he was admitted for further investigations and currently remains in Ninewells Hospital. The club will provide a further update in due course.”
Dundee confirmed the ongoing support for their player.
Reflecting on the unsettling events, manager Tony Docherty said: “He is responsive at the moment. It wasn’t a nice thing to see. Mo took a turn at half-time.
“The medics were involved and we had to get the players out of there. He’s responsive. He’s in hospital right now. We’ll just need to assess that and see how he is.”
