Napoli goalkeeper David Ospina, who’s at the club on a one-year loan deal from Arsenal, had to be rushed to the hospital after collapsing during today’s Serie A match against Udinese.
The 30-year-old Colombian was injured in the fifth minute after a low cross into the Napoli box resulted in a collision between Ospina and Ignacio Pussetto.

According to ESPN, this resulted in a “serious cut” that was promptly bandaged by the medical staff. Ospina would carry on playing, but in the 42nd minute, the goalkeeper collapsed to the ground with no one near him.
