Hungary coach breaks silence from hospital after collapsing during Saturday's Nations League clash against the Netherlands

Hungary coach Adam Szalai — who collapsed during Saturday's Nations League match against the Netherlands — has delivered a positive update from hospital.

The game in Amsterdam, which resulted in a 4-0 victory for the Dutch, was halted for more than 10 minutes after the medical emergency.

Referee Jesus Gil Manzano called for play to a stop after coach Szalai collapsed, with witnesses suggesting that he also may have suffered a seizure.

A medical tent was erected around Szalai as treatment was given, before the 36-year-old was taken to hospital in an ambulance.

Players and staff from both teams looked shaken, especially Liverpool midfielder and Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai, who was seen in tears.
