On the BBC’s television coverage, presenter Gabby Logan said the broadcaster was “shocked” that Uefa had decided to show a replay of the collision.
“We were as shocked as you when they replayed that incident,” Logan said. “There are protocols around this kind of thing after Christian Eriksen [suffered a cardiac arrest] three years ago.
“We were very surprised that Uefa chose to show that replay, which is why we cut away immediately to a wide-angle as soon as we could.”
What happened to Barnabas Varga?
Hungary striker Barnabas Varga was carried off the field on a stretcher after a sickening clash with Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn, which occurred as both players challenged for an aerial ball in the penalty box.
Varga was caught by Gunn’s elbow and instantly collapsed to the turf, leading to a delay of almost seven minutes, during Sunday night’s final Group A game in Stuttgart.
Hungary’s players immediately called for support for the 29-year-old and many of them were furious at the lack of haste shown by the medical staff at the Stuttgart Arena.
Hungary manager Marco Rossi said after the match that his players said Varga had been knocked unconscious, although Hungarian media reported that he did not lose consciousness at any stage.
Shortly after the final whistle, the Hungarian Football Association said that Varga was being treated in hospital.
Hungary player Roland Sallai then revealed: “Fortunately, he is in a much better condition now… He will have to go for a minor operation but he’s in a stable condition and we cross our fingers he can return quickly.”
