CNN —Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai has called for a change to medical protocols after the team’s striker, Barnabás Varga, sustained a serious injury during its match against Scotland on Sunday at Euro 2024.
The 29-year-old’s teammates could be seen signaling for medical attention to be brought onto the pitch to help Varga.
Cameras showed Szoboszlai seemingly in tears after the incident and appeared to be concerned at the speed at which the stretcher was being carried onto the pitch to help Varga.
“It looked bad, it was bad, he felt bad,” Szoboszlai told reporters as he reflected on Varga’s injury.
But seconds can help a lot.”Kevin Csoboth holds up the shirt with Varga's name on it after scoring for Hungary against Scotland.
