Mo Sylla still in hospital after collapsing in dressing room during Dundee match

Dundee have confirmed that Mo Sylla remains in hospital after collapsing in the dressing room during their defeat to Aberdeen on Saturday.

The midfielder had played during the first half of the match, but was taken to the city’s Ninewells Hospital after collapsing during half-time.

On Sunday Dundee issued an update on the 30-year-old, who was responsive after being transferred to hospital and remains there for “further investigations”.

In a post on X, Dundee said: “The club would like to provide a short update on the condition of Mo Sylla after Mo took unwell yesterday in the Dundee dressing room at half-time. Mo was quickly attended to by the club’s medical team and paramedics.

“He was transferred to Ninewells Hospital Accident and Emergency Department and by this point was responsive and talking to those around him.

“After an initial assessment, he was admitted for further investigations and currently remains in Ninewells Hospital.

“The club will provide a further update in due course.”

Speaking after the match, Dundee boss Tony Docherty said: “He is responsive at the moment. It wasn’t a nice thing to see. Mo took a turn at half-time.

“The medics were involved and we had to get the players out of there. He’s responsive. He’s in hospital right now. We’ll just need to assess that and see how he is.”
