Varga collapsed to the pitch in Stuttgart and was struggling to move after chasing a long ball into the area as Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn came to collect the ball.

After a long delay, medics took the 29-year-old player from the pitch while a sheet was draped around the stretcher.

Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai appeared to be in tears as he consoled his stricken teammate.

Varga was immediately taken to hospital after the incident.

Hungary went on to win the Group A game 1-0 to stay in contention for the last 16.
