Evan Ndicka is 'feeling better' in hospital after his health scare in Roma's abandoned match against Udinese on Sunday.
The match between the two Serie A sides was level at 1-1 in the 72nd minute when Ndicka collapsed to the floor off the ball in worrying scenes.
His team-mates and medics quickly rushed to his side with Ndicka pointing at his chest while in clear pain.
The 24-year-old was stretchered off the field and taken to hospital with Roma later issuing an update on social media.

Roma posted a photo of Ndicka sitting up in a hospital bed with his right fist held up and the team confirmed he was 'feeling better'.
Their statement read: "Evan is feeling better and is in good spirits.
"He will remain in the hospital for further observations."
The Roma squad arrived at the hospital shortly after they agreed with Udinese to abandon the match.
Roma coach Daniele De Rossi got his squad in a huddle before speaking with Udinese boss Gabriele Cioffi and referee Luca Pairetto.
After a long discussion, De Rossi and Cioffi were seen hugging before Pairetto indicated play had been suspended.
According to AFP, the final 20 minutes of the match will still be played at a later date.
Sky Sports Italia report that De Rossi addressed journalists after leaving the hospital and assured them Ndicka was feeling "good, good".

Meanwhile, Roma are still in with a chance of breaking into the top four and qualifying for the Champions League.
