Sheffield United star John Fleck collapsed on the pitch during Tuesday night’s match and rushed to the hospital. Play was halted for 11 minutes as Fleck was treated on the field. The soccer star was given oxygen on the field and then taken off the field in a stretcher. He spent the night in the hospital.
The live feed was cut after one of the announcers asked, “I think everyone wants to know if he’s had the COVID vaccine?”
Why cut the not so live stream when @trevor8sinclair questions whether John Fleck has had the covid jab. Disappointed that you've done that @Sjopinion10 @JimWhite . You actually cut him off again a few seconds later #talksport #covidjab pic.twitter.com/AaiJHx9xvA

"Everything was quick, both benches. We hope all of us, everything will be ok with him."
