It was a tragic moment yesterday at San Paolo stadium after Arsenal keeper David Ospina collapsed with a head injury during Napoli’s Serie A clash with Udinese.

The Colombian, on a season-long loan at Napoli, sustained a blow to the head after he dived out to meet a low cross and collided with Udinese’s Argentinean striker Ignacio Pussetto in the seventh minute of the game .

He was taken off on a stretcher and was immediately taken to a nearby hospital with model wife Jesica Sterling attending with him.

But Ospina played on for almost half an hour, conceding twice, before falling to the ground in the 44th minute , when Napoli’s medical staff rushed onto the pitch to attend for him and he was forced off.

Ospina was replaced by substitute keeper Alex Meret who has been battling with Ospina for the No.1 shirt at San Paolo Stadium this season.

Napoli, who beat Udinese 4-2, later released a statement revealing that Ospina would remain in hospital overnight under observation.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti said; “Fortunately it’s nothing serious, he’s conscious. They did a CAT scan that is negative. He did not lose consciousness, but had a hypotensive crisis resulting from head trauma. “

He joined Napoli on a season-long loan deal in August 2018.
