Swedish professional footballer needs artificial ventilation

Swedish professional soccer player Kristoffer Olsson was healthy. But from one moment to the next everything changed. The worries are great.

The Scandinavian football world is worried about Swedish national player Kristoffer Olsson, who suddenly fell seriously ill. The 28-year-old professional from the Danish first division club FC Midtjylland lost consciousness at home a week ago and was then taken to Aarhus University Hospital, where he continues to lie and is receiving artificial ventilation, his club announced on Tuesday.

Apparently acute brain disease in Olsson

Olsson apparently suffers from an acute brain disease. Medical experts are therefore working hard to make a diagnosis and find the right treatment method. The club emphasized that the illness was not due to self-inflicted injuries or external factors.

The midfielder is one of the leading players at the Danish top club. He has so far played 47 international matches for the Swedish national team and took part in the 2020 European Championship.
