Medical personnel treats Hungary's Barnabas Varga after he was injured during a Group A match between Scotland and Hungary at Euro 2024 in Stuttgart, Germany, June 23, 2024

HUNGARY striker Barnabas Varga broke several facial bones and suffered a concussion during his country’s 1-0 victory over Scotland.

The Ferencvaros forward required lengthy treatment on the pitch after colliding with Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn in the second half of their Euro 2024 match in Stuttgart on Sunday evening.

Hungary players had quickly signalled that the 29-year-old was in trouble and, after six minutes of treatment, Varga was carried off the field on a stretcher while sheets were held up to shield him from view.
