Rosen Bozhinov hospitalized after collapsing during Serie B match
During a Serie B match between Juve Stabia and Pisa at the Romeo Menti stadium, Bulgarian defender Rosen Bozhinov collapsed on the pitch in the 41st minute. The incident, which occurred in temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, caused a temporary suspension of the match as medical staff provided immediate assistance.
Bozhinov was transported to the San Leonardo hospital in Castellammare di Stabia for observation. While the collapse included convulsions and caused significant alarm, Lega B and Pisa Sporting Club reported that the player remained conscious. Medical assessments indicated the episode was likely caused by severe dehydration due to extreme heat.
Following the medical emergency, the match resumed and Pisa eventually secured a 3-0 victory. The incident has sparked debate regarding the safety of scheduling professional football matches during high-temperature periods, with medical experts and fans calling for a review of kickoff times to protect athlete health.
