Bilal Nadir collapses on the pitch: "We are all worried," says De Zerbi after OM-Angers
All of Marseille is now waiting for news of him. On Wednesday evening, during the Ligue 1 match against Angers (2-2, Matchday 10), Bilal Nadir collapsed on the pitch of the Vélodrome stadium in the final minutes of regulation time.
The young midfielder (21 years old) fell near the halfway line, close to the touchline. On the ground, surrounded by very concerned Angers and Marseille players, he nevertheless moved, particularly his legs, and made small gestures to reassure the crowd. He was quickly placed in the recovery position by some teammates. After a few moments, Nadir was stretchered off. He was replaced by Pol Lirola.
After the match, Roberto De Zerbi gave an update on his player. "He regained consciousness and went to the hospital for tests and checkups. We're all concerned, and we hope it's nothing serious," the Italian coach said. "He's OK," Matt O'Riley added.
Leading 2-1 at the time of the incident, Marseille conceded an equalizer in the 90th minute from Ousmane Camara. "It took us out of the game a bit," Robinio Vaz admitted to Ligue 1+.
