Javier Altamirano will continue to be hospitalized for evolutionary control. Estudiantes de La Plata issued a statement on Monday afternoon, almost 24 hours after the episode on the playing field.
"The cause of the seizure suffered by the player was a thrombosis of the superior longitudinal sinus (brain)," the report indicated. "He is stable, with the appropriate medication and waiting for other studies," he concluded. The episode caused a commotion in the middle of the match against Boca.
