Daily Mail reports:

The score was level at 1-1 at the time of the incident and Ndicka was taken to hospital.

In a statement, Roma said: ‘Following the on-field medical emergency involving Evan Ndicka, the match between Udinese and Roma has been suspended.

‘The player is conscious and has been taken to hospital for further checks.

‘Forza Evan, we are all with you!’

Roma players subsequently paid a visit to their teammate in hospital.

‘The squad went to visit Ndicka at the hospital. Evan is feeling better and is in good spirits. He will remain in the hospital for further observations,’ the Serie A club posted on X, the platform previously known as Twitter.

Per BBC:

After Ndicka’s collapse, Roma’s medical staff and emergency services were called on to the pitch and after discussions with the referee, the match was abandoned.

Ndicka joined Roma on a free transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 and has made 19 appearances for the Italian club.

Roberto Pereyra had given Udinese an early lead before striker Romelu Lukaku equalised for Roma.

The remainder of the match is now set to be played at a later date.
