Indonesian goalkeeper Choirul Huda dies after collision with teammate

Indonesian goalkeeper Choirul Huda has passed away after a collision with a teammate on Sunday.

The Persela FC goalkeeper was rushing out to claim a ball just before half-time of the Liga 1 tie with Semen Padang when he clashed with a teammate and suffered fatal injuries. Huda, 38, was immediately taken to hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arriving after he failed to respond to attempts to revive him. https://twitter.com/PerselaFC/status/919522795440054273?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.skysports.com%2Ffootball%2Fnews%2F11095%2F11082987%2Findonesian-goalkeeper-choirul-huda-dies-after-collision-with-team-mate In a statement released on club's official website, Dr Yudistiro Andri Nugroho said Huda suffered "impacts on the chest and lower jaws". "Initial analysis" also suggested a "possibility of head trauma and neck trauma". https://www.instagram.com/p/BaRMegAj-46/ After struggling to breathe, it's said that the player suffered cardiac arrest and passed away. "Thank you for your constant dedication," a post on the club's Instagram account reads. "Thank you for the inspiration you gave to Persela, Lamongan and Indonesian football." A video of the collision has been doing the rounds on social media but we will not be sharing it. Rest in peace, Choirul Huda.
