Days after collapsing on the pitch during AS Roma’s encounter against Udinese, the 24-year-old defender has been permitted to resume sporting activity, the Serie A club said on Tuesday.

The match in Udinese was ultimately abandoned at 1-1.

The Paris-born player, who plays for the Ivory Coast, was taken out on a stretcher after tumbling backwards onto the pitch in the 18th minute.

As the medical staff raced to Ndicka, he was conscious but clearly in pain, massaging his chest with his right hand. One day following the April 14 event, he was released from the hospital.

“Ndicka underwent a series of cardiologic and third level pulmonary tests,” Roma said in a statement.

“Tests conducted confirmed the absence of cardiac pathologies and the healing of the minimal pneumothorax that occurred during the match.

“The player is therefore fit for resuming sports activity that will be monitored in the following days.”

With six games remaining, Roma, currently sixth in the Italian top division, will visit Napoli on Sunday.
