Ghanaian striker Raphael Dwamena has been reported to be in a stable condition after collapsing during the first half of Blau-Weiß Linz's match against Harterg in the Austrian Cup.
The match was suspended after the striker fell to the ground before the end of the first half.
"His defibrillator struck and the doctors were able to stabilize him quickly," Linz manager Stefan Reiter told the APA.
The good news is "Raphael's condition is stable." The rescue chain had "worked outstandingly". "It didn't take a second for the paramedics to get to him."

Dwamena returned to action recently after a year out with a career-threatening heart problem.
It’s the third time Dwamena's career is having to take a hit by his heart condition.
In 2017, the Ghana international saw a move to Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion cancelled for reportedly failing a medical in relation to his heart condition.
Dwamena is a full Ghana international, scoring twice on his debut in an Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier against Ethiopia in 2017.
