Hungary stars in tears as player stretchered off after collision in Euro game

Hungary player Barnabas Vargas is reportedly in a stable condition and conscious and communicating in hospital after suffering a horror injury against Scotland.

Captain Dominik Szoboszlai was left in tears after seeing Varga suffer a serious injury following a sickening collision with Scotland keeper Angus Gunn.

Varga was injured as a free-kick was swung into the Scotland box, with Gunn jumping over the top of him. The Hungary star appeared to smash into Gunn’s lower body and was left stricken on the ground.

The referee immediately stopped the game, with medical staff being rushed onto the pitch by Hungary’s players. After being put in the recovery position, a screen was erected around Varga while he received treatment.

Hungary’s players also rushed to hurry up the stretcher bearers as they walked onto the pitch, with Varga cleary in distress. The incident left the Hungary squad in understandable upset, with captain Szoboszlai pictured in tears.

After a six-minute delay, Varga was stretchered off the pitch, with the crowd at the Stuttgart Arena rising as one to applaud him off. The host broadcaster allowed one replay of the incident to be shown, with VAR also checking for a potential penalty against Gunn.

That check was cleared though, with the game remaining goalless. There were 10 minutes of injury time added following the lengthy stoppage and with the game on a knife edge, Hungary won it in the closing seconds after Kevin Csoboth fired past Gunn following a breakaway from a Scottish corner.
