Evan N’Dicka leaves the Santa Maria della Misericordia hospital in Udine shortly after lunchtime yesterday. Roma opts for a secondary exit, aimed at dribbling the few reporters still present on site. The Ivorian reaches the train station and together with the social doctor Manara opts for the train, rather than the plane, as a means of returning to the capital. He stops in Trigoria before hugging his family back home. The great fear is behind us.
Ndicka discharged from Udine hospital, negative cardiological tests: «Chest trauma, complications excluded»
The last exams
The last tests carried out yesterday before his discharge from the hospital definitively exclude the hypothesis of a heart attack, confirming what appeared to be the most credible hypothesis on Sunday evening. What caused the defender’s illness was therefore the muscular compression on the lung, a sort of air pocket between the two layers of the pleura (the thin transparent two-layer membrane that covers the lungs and the internal part of the chest wall) due to a clash that occurred previously with Udinese’s center forward, Lucca. All this was confirmed in the evening by an official note from the club in which, in addition to thanks due «to the great professionalism and availability of Udinese, of the referee Pairetto, of the public present at the stadium, of the medical and healthcare staff of the Santa Maria della della Mercy”, clarification was made on the boy’s condition: “Following an acute precordial pain and non-specific changes on the electrocardiogram carried out in the first emergency room at the stadium, the player was hospitalized (…) – we read – They were first and second level cardiological checks were carried out and were negative for cardiac pathology. In light of the latest tests carried out, the clinical picture is compatible with chest trauma with minimal left pneumothorax. The player has been discharged and will carry out further checks in Rome.” Before leaving Udine, the defender received a visit from his compatriot Kamara, a member of Udinese: “He’s fine, I’m here because we are very good friends”, his words as he left. In this regard, Aouar also asked Roma on Sunday evening to be able to stay close to his friend and not return to the capital. The decision was then reversed when it was explained to the Algerian that it wouldn’t make sense for him to stay there, given that he wouldn’t be able to stay in the room next to Evan.
The reactions
Now, another game begins for the Ivorian. Which will always see him as a protagonist but not immediately on the pitch. That will take some time, as Professor Pino Capua explained in the interview below. The season is not over but the defender will have to spend a period of rest, waiting for the pneumothorax to reabsorb, and then carry out new tests. Only later, after the green light, will he be able to return to the field. The worst, for sure, is behind us. Giulio Trillò, director of the Regional Health Emergency Operational Structure, recounts with a sigh of relief what happened in the field and the fears of how, at first, the pathology concerned the cardiological aspect: «The doubt was precisely this and a symptomatology of this kind it always includes three things. That is, the symptoms that were there, the electrocardiogram and the dosage of a series of cardiac enzymes which is only done in hospital. The symptoms were present and therefore there was every justification to do an in-depth analysis at the hospital.” An efficiency, between medical coordination, De Rossi’s readiness and understanding of both the Udinese coach Cioffi and the referee Pairetto, which also deserved applause from the president of CONI, Gianni Malagò: «It is absolutely a good precedent . Everyone was good. Coaches, teams, good referee. Good from every point of view.”
