Match day was overshadowed by Dundee professional Mohamed Sylla’s collapse at the Scottish Football Senate. According to media reports, the 30-year-old collapsed during the first half of his team FC Dundee’s Premier League match against Aberdeen FC (1:2). “It wasn’t nice to see,” coach Tony Docherty said.
Medical supervisors intervened immediately and Sela’s teammates were forced to leave the locker room and wait in the players’ tunnel. But the game continued.
Meanwhile, Frenchman Sela was taken to hospital. “He’s friendly,” Coach Docherty said. We are now awaiting further news on the midfielder’s condition. Sela moved to the Scottish First Division club last year. He previously played for several lower-tier English football clubs.
Before the home match against Aberdeen, Dundee remembered their former professional player Fabian Caballero with a minute’s silence. The former Argentine striker died of a heart attack on Friday at the age of 46.
