The “Gialorossi” defender did not score in the match against the Neapolitans, but he was decisive in Roma’s equalizing goal, with a header in extra time at a corner for Tammy Abraham. Evan Ndicka had received early last week doctors’ consent to resume physical activity.

“Evan Ndicka underwent a series of cardiac and pulmonary tests, which revealed no cardiac pathology and confirmed the recovery of the minimal pneumothorax found after the match“, the Romanian club explained in a statement last week.

“He had an excellent game with this decisive pass and he did his job perfectly in front of a striker who is worth 150 million euros (no Victor Osimhen)”, said coach Daniele De Rossi, after the match with Napoli, according to Agerpres.

• 24 million euros is Evan Ndicka’s market share, according to Transfermarkt.
• Evan Ndicka has played in 29 matches this season in all competitions for AS Roma.

Why did the Udinese – AS Roma match stop in the 70th minute

AS Roma defender Evan Ndicka put his hand on his chest in the 70th minute of the match played against Udinese and the Ivorian collapsed on the pitch.

While Ndicka complained of severe pain in his heart, teammates and medical staff came around him, followed by first aid services equipped with a defibrillator. The French footballer raised his thumb up and wanted to show that he was feeling good. According to the media in Italy, it was a heart problem, but there was no need to use the defibrillator.

However, the player remained conscious and was transported to the hospital.

As a result, the match was interrupted at the score of 1-1, a decision welcomed by the applause of the spectators at “Bluenergy Stadium”.

• Trained at Auxerre in France, Ndicka came to AS Roma last summer, after five seasons spent in Germany, at Eintracht Frankfurt.
• Ndicka is part of the Cote d’Ivoire national team, winner of the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
