New Delhi: An Indian player died after collapsing on the pitch during a district-level league match, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) said on Wednesday.

Federation officials, however, were not available for further details. The death coincides with the English Premier League’s decision to review its medical procedures following Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba’s cardiac arrest while playing against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Muamba is recovering in hospital. It was in Bangalore that top Indian club Dempo’s Brazilian striker Cristiano Junior died after colliding with Mohun Bagan goalkeeper Subrata Paul in the final of the 2004 Federation Cup. Reuters
