HUNGARY coach Adam Szalai is in a stable condition after being taken ill during the Nations League loss to the Netherlands, the country’s football federation has said.
The Group A3 encounter in Amsterdam was halted for more than 10 minutes early in the game after Szalai was taken ill, with a medical tent erected around the dugout before the 36-year-old was taken to hospital in an ambulance.
The Hungarian Football Federation said on Saturday night that Szalai was “stable and he is conscious” and on Sunday the former Hungary striker posted a positive message on Facebook.
