FC Sheriff star Adama Traore collapses to floor clutching his chest in worrying scenes against Real Madrid
FC SHERIFF star Adama Traore collapsed to the turf in worrying scenes against Real Madrid last night.
The Moldovan side hosted European heavyweights Madrid in Transnistria.
But fans witnessed a scary scene in the 77th minute, as they worried for Traore's health.
After evading a challenge from Nacho Fernandez, the 26-year-old appeared uncomfortable.
As the ball went out for a throw in he turned around, before clutching his chest and falling to the ground.
The incident thankfully occurred right by the touchline, meaning club medics were able to attend to him quickly.
Traore remained breathing throughout the ordeal.
Doctors used smelling salts in order to try and activate the player's senses.
