Andy Delort Collapses During a Game in Qatar
The French forward Andy Delort, from Qatari club Umm-Salal, collapsed and started convulsing on the field in the 16th minute of the Qatar Stars Cup final against Al Arabi. Ten minutes after scoring his team's first goal, the French striker began spinning around before falling to the ground and having convulsions.
Andy Delort was quickly attended to by the medical staff present at the stadium. The game continued, and according to the French press, the footballer was seen on the bench for the second half.
Delort, who scored five goals and provided four assists in 12 matches with Umm-Salal, joined the team last summer from French club Nantes.
The forward has spent most of his career in French football, with additional stints of 14 games with Mexican club Tigres UANL during the 2016-2017 season and 11 matches with English club Wigan Athletic in the 2014-2015 season.
