Defender Savy King of Angel City FC, Los Angeles team from the Nord-American football championship NWSL, is “in a stable state” after a “medical incident” that occurred in a match on Friday.
At the 74th of the championship meeting between the Angel City FC and the Utah Royals, Savy King (20 years old) suddenly lengthened on the lawn before being evacuated on a stretcher towards the hospital, which his club called a “medical incident”.
“Savy left the field in a stable state, and remains stable before taking other exams,” the NWSL wrote on Saturday.
Once Savy King is evacuated from the stadium, the two teams gathered in a circle on the ground to pray for King, and the teams of all the NWSL, as well as the League office, offered their support to King through their social networks.
“A scary situation”
“If I remember correctly, it was one of the players of Utah (Alex Loera) who suggested that we come together to pray, share our energy, but just to show our unity at this precise moment, to support Savy without being aware of the situation at that time,” said Angel City’s assistant coach, Eleri Earnsha at “Los Angeles Times”. It is a scary situation, and at this stage, it is much more than football. I’m really grateful to him for doing this. »»
King, an American international among young people, was selected in second position from the draft last year by the Bay FC before being transferred in 2025 to Los Angeles where it is from.
“Her family is with her, just like our medical staff, so she is in good hands,” added Earnshaw.
