Players and stewards hold a cloth as Hungary’s forward #19 Barnabas Varga falls after a collision during the UEFA Euro 2024 Group A football match between Scotland and Hungary at the Stuttgart Arena in Stuttgart on June 23, 2024. Hungary striker Barnabas Varga is expected to undergo surgery after fracturing “multiple bones” in his face in a sickening collision during his team’s 1-0 win over Scotland at Euro 2024.
Hungary’s players quickly signalled he was in trouble, with captain Dominik Szobozslai helping to bring on the stretcher as others gathered round their stricken team-mate.“Multiple bones in Barnabas Varga’s were broken during the collision and he also suffered a concussion,” the Hungarian Football Federation wrote on X in the early hours of Monday.“He will most likely undergo surgery,” it added, with Varga spending the night in a local hospital.
Kevin Csoboth grabbed the winning goal in the 10th minute of stoppage time in the Group A game to keep alive the team’s hopes of making the last 16. However, the 29-year-old Varga will play no further part in the tournament regardless of whether Hungary progress as one of the four best third-placed teams.
“It was terrible. It was a terrible moment to see Barnabas like that,” said Roland Sallai, who set up Hungary’s last-gasp winner.“We wanted to win for him and we dedicate the win to him.”
