British media talksport reported that former Arsenal youth training player Billy Vega suffered severe brain damage and was in an induced coma.
Vega's current club, Chichester City, said he suffered severe brain damage, was currently receiving induced coma treatment in the intensive care unit and received the best care. It’s too early to talk about the results now, and even if everything goes well, there will be a long road to recovery. ”
This incident occurred in the 13th minute of the Ismian League Super Group match against Wingate and Finchley, and the game was quickly suspended.
Vega is a 21-year-old striker who came from Arsenal's famous youth training academy and promoted from the U18 echelon to the U21 echelon close to the first team. He then was loaned to Derby County and Eastbourne between 2022 and 2024, and then left Arsenal permanently. Vega initially joined Hastings United, and has played four times after transferring to the new team Chichester City this season and scored a goal.
In response, his former club Arsenal wrote: "I wish you a quick recovery, Billy. Everyone in Arsenal extended love and support to Billy and his loved ones during this difficult time. ”
