Roma defender Evan Ndicka joined his teammates on the pitch at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday to celebrate a 2-1 win over Milan and the consequent qualification for the Europa League semifinals.
Ndicka had collapsed on the pitch at Udine on Sunday, so the match was called off at minute 73. There was fear the Ivory Coast international had suffered a cardiac arrest, but later tests ruled out a heart condition.
The 24-year-old was not available against Milan last night but watched the games from the stands at the Olimpico and joined his teammates on the pitch to celebrate their 2-1 win over their Serie A rivals and the second consecutive qualification for the Europa League semis.
