JAKARTA - Colombia's women's national team player, Linda Caicedo, collapsed after scoring against Germany in the knockout stages of the 2023 World Cup, last weekend. This is the second time Caicedo has fallen in the last three days.

Previously he also experienced the same thing during Colombia's training session. At that time, the 18-year-old was running with the ball dribble. He suddenly stopped and started gripping his left chest.

He then tried to sit down but in a few seconds then fell unconscious.

Colombian medical staff rushed closer to the point of panic flooding the camp. The frightened team-mates are concerned about the worst.

Thankfully, Caicedo was able to regain consciousness. He was then taken to an ambulance and went to a local hospital. The player can fully recover in order to appear against Germany.

Caicedo showed no loss of his abilities. He scored a fantastic goal for Colombia in the 52nd minute.

There are concerns for Caicedo as he fainted again in the 83rd minute. A video shows him falling on the pitch and then being assisted by the Colombian national team's medical staff.

He was finally helped to stand up and walk to the sidelines. However, instead of telling him to stop, the Colombian future player was allowed to continue playing.

Marcela Restrepo finally replaced him in the sixth minute of extra time.

Caicedo was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of 15 in February 2020, just before the pandemic hit. He needed surgery and underwent chemotherapy for six months before returning to the soccer field.

"Actually I'm still very young and maybe I don't really understand what happened to me," said Caicedo.

His recovery to full fitness surprised many people.
