Cologne´s Turkish defender Umit Ozat, seen here in 2005, collapsed during Friday´s win at Karlsruhe and was taken to hospital as a precaution.

BERLIN (AFP) - Cologne's Turkish defender Umit Ozat collapsed during Friday's win at Karlsruhe and was taken to hospital as a precaution.

Ozat lost consciousness after 25 minutes of the match for no apparent reason and was stretchered off after teammates signalled to the bench he needed treatment. The match resumed five minutes later.

Cologne general manager Michael Meier said Ozat swiftly regained consciousness but "he has been taken to hospital for cardiological tests as a precaution and will stay in overnight for observation.

In a similar incident on August 20, David Sommeil of French side Valenciennes was taken unconscious to hospital. He regained consciousness six days later but was unable to speak.

Hoping all of these fellows turn out okay, some of us, weren't given the ticker for the sports... that applies to even some good players like Kanu who I guess continues his career but their is something with his heart. The heat is another big factor.
