The result was a 1-1 draw when the Ivorian centre-back collapsed on the field and fell on his back 18 minutes before the end.
Ndika was conscious, but he complained of pain, placed his right hand on his chest, and the medical staff went to him.
Then he walked off the field on a stretcher, giving a thumbs-up sign.
The Roma club stated on the X social media platform: “After the medical emergency that Ivan Ndika suffered on the field, the match between Udinese and Roma was cancelled.”
“The player is fully conscious and was taken to the hospital for further examinations.”
After a long pause, it was decided to cancel the match and the players left the field.
Italian media reports stated that the tests that Ndika underwent in the hospital ruled out a heart attack, and the 24-year-old player will spend the night in the hospital under observation.
