Wigan Athletic forward Charlie Wyke has been taken to hospital after he collapsed during training.
The 28-year-old went down during training as his side prepared for their League One fixture against Cambridge United on Sunday.
Wigan say Wyke is being monitored in hospital but is in a stable condition, and is unavailable for selection “for the immediate future”.
Mal Brannigan, Wigan chief executive said: “First and foremost, the absolute priority for everyone associated with Wigan Athletic is Charlie’s health and wellbeing and providing support to him and his family.
“As a club, we would like to place on record our sincere appreciation to all of the staff within the NHS who, within what we know are challenging times, were excellent in their response and subsequent care for Charlie, working together with our medical team.
“Clearly this news will cause alarm, though we would politely request that the privacy of Charlie and his family is respected. At the appropriate time, we will look to provide further updates to our supporters.”
