Former Manchester United and Newcastle striker Andrew Cole has questioned whether more can be done to help protect footballers from heart problems following the death of Cheick Tiote.
Tiote died while training with Chinese club Beijing Enterprises, and his family remain in the dark over what caused his sudden and tragic death at the age of just 30.
They await the results of a post-mortem, but a suspected heart attack appears the likely cause at this stage.
Tiote's death comes little under two months after former Aston Villa defender Ugo Ehiogu, Tottenham Under-23 coach at the time, died of a cardiac arrest.
