Zenit defender fainted after communicating with the press

The defender of the St. Petersburg Zenit and the South Korean national football team Kim Don Chin lost consciousness, being in the location of the national team, where he was called to participate in a friendly match against Senegal.

Soon after Kim talked with the Korean press, he fell, and blood flowed from his nose ( video ). After a matter of seconds, doctors turned out to be near one of the leaders of the Korean national team, who first excluded the possibility of swallowing the tongue of Kim, and then brought him to his senses. The football player was taken to the Sinchon hospital, and now his life is out of danger.

According to the Sports TV channel, due to this incident, the player’s participation in the comradely match of the Korean team against Senegal, as well as in the game of the 25th round of the Russian Championship against Kuban, is in doubt.

This happened to the 27-year-old Kim Don Jin and earlier. In particular, in May 2004, he was already losing consciousness when, as part of the Olympic team of Korea, he was preparing for games in Athens.
