Not allowed, can only go back to studio when UEFA allows it.Should/could have cut to the studio earlier I guess but most important thing is he seems to be stable and in bloody good hands. One of my old team at work is best mates with the doc that treated Mwamba on the pitch, these people are amazing.
Has anyone got any idea what happened to him? No thrashing around or clutching his chest, just a stagger, fall forward, convulsions, eyes dilated, unconsciousness.
Yes. He went into ventricular fibrillation. Loss of blood supply means you faint and within 10 seconds you'll be unconscious. You may have a quick panicky convulsion but you generally won't rememember this if you recover. Then you need to get a cardiac output. A defibrillator is best, but a thump to the chest may do it.
Unlike old ******** like me, this won't be a heart attack (acute myocardial ischaemia due to a sudden block of a coronary (heart) artery (thrombosis on top of an old atheroma - you can look these words up)) it will be a primary electrical event - an arrhythmia caused by a slightly weird cell ion channel, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Best of luck to him. I expect he will be fine, now. At risk of another event, but probably preventable (reverse the cardiomyopathy by lowering amounts of exercise, possibly drugs).
Either way, the poor sod will never play again. Lucky for him he's 29 and had a nice career.

Expert analysis. Could also have been ventricular tachycardia, which along with ventricular fibrillation is one of two 'shockable' arrhythmia on the advanced life support algorithm. It's definitely one of these as at one point in the footage it was clear he was receiving shocks from a defibrillator.
