Stricken Hungary frontman Barnabas Varga has been pictured in hospital for the first time since suffering a sickening collision in the match against Scotland.

The striker hit the deck after attempting to get on the end of a free-kick ahead of Angus Gunn and his teammates were immediately calling for medical attention with the Ferencvaros man out cold on the Stuttgart turf.

There was a lengthy delay as the medics did their thing, with Magyars captain Dominik Szoboszlai so distressed he was in tears.

The Euro 2024 clash was extended by 10 minutes, and Hungary snatched a dramatic late winner in 100th to dump Steve Clarke's side out of the competition with just about the last kick of the game.

After a long delay, medics took the 29-year-old player from the pitch while sheets were draped around the stretcher in scenes that were initially reminiscent of Christian Eriksen's collapse after suffering cardiac arrest during Denmark's Euro 2020 match against Finland.
