Angel City defender Sabbiking was hospitalized after collapsed in a Friday night National Women’s Football League (NWSL) match against the Utah Royals, but “responds,” her club said in a statement.
The 20-year-old fell to the ground in the 74th minute, attended by health workers who appeared to be administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a per Reuters basis.
About ten minutes after it collapsed, King put an oxygen mask on his face and stretched out of the field.
Angel City said she was taken to the hospital by emergency medical services and has received further evaluations.
After the game, the 2-0 win for Christen Press and Alyssa Thompson goals was joined by one another as both sets of players pray to the king.
Some of the players who appeared visibly struggling were reopening after King left the field. This is a decision criticised by Royals head coach Jimmy Coenraetz.
“I don’t know if I should continue the game,” the Belgian said after the match.
“Not only were they scared, our players, but I don’t think it was the right position, it wasn’t the right situation, but in the end we played.
King, who was selected as Bay FC for the second overall pick in the 2024 NWSL Draft, started all eight Angel City games this season and joined the club in February.
Prior to joining the NWSL, she played at the University of North Carolina and made multiple appearances on the U.S. Youth Varsity Team at the Under-17 and Under-20 levels.
