Hungary players hold up blankets as Barnabas Varga receives medical treatment following a collision with Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn during a Euro 2024 match in Stuttgart, Germany, on June 23.Hungary forward Barnabas Varga was set to undergo surgery Monday after breaking several facial bones in a collision with Scotland’s goalkeeper during their game at the European Championship.
“He is fine, conscious and waiting to be operated,” team spokesman Gergo Szabo told The Associated Press. “He will have to spend a few days in the hospital but it would be irresponsible to say anything now.” The Hungary players had frantically signaled to medical staff after the incident and several have since spoken out about how long it took for Varga to receive treatment. Varga also sustained a concussion.
