Dutch star Sno suffers heart attack during match

Ajax midfielder Evander Sno suffered a heart attack during a reserve team match with Vitesse Arnhem on Monday, both clubs announced on their websites but medical staff managed to resuscitate the 23-year-old.

"Evander Sno suffered a heart attack midway through the second-half," read the statement on the Vitesse website, adding that the match was stopped and the player was revived.

"The defibrilator was used on four occasions and it appears that saved Sno's life."

Sno was conscious and taken to hospital for further treatment.

Sno was a former great hope of Dutch football when he began his career at Ajax before being offloaded to Scottish giants Celtic in 2006.

Ajax took him back in 2008 but loaned him out to English Championship side Bristol City for the 2008/09 campaign.
