Hungary dedicated what could be a crucial win over Scotland to Barnabas Varga after the Ferencvaros player was taken off on a stretcher and taken to hospital. He had been left motionless on the pitch after leaping to meet a Dominik Szobozslai free-kick in the 71st minute.
While receiving treatment on the pitch and being taken from the field of play on a stretcher, Varga had sheeting placed around him. A statement from the Hungarian Football Federation said Varga was “stable” in a Stuttgart hospital. He was understood to have been unconscious on the field and will undergo surgery on a fractured cheekbone.
