1 Min Read

Atletico Madrid forward, Moussa Dembele, has reportedly collapsed during a training session on March 23 due to a reported drop in blood pressure.

Video clips and images of his dramatic slump and medical response were widely reported in the Spanish press.

The 24-year-old lanky striker was seen stretching with team-mates in the centre circle at the club’s headquarters before falling to the ground, a leg shaking as he lay on his back.

The Frenchman’s worried Atletico teammates, coaches and medical staff rushed to help him and an ambulance was in attendance at the scene.

The former Celtic striker regained consciousness on the field and walked to the vehicle pitch side and eventually left the stadium at the wheel of his own car.

Spanish press reported Dembele had a drop in blood pressure but is doing well.

Dembele joined Atletico on loan from Lyon in January and is yet to score in two appearances.
