The visitors were winning 2-0 after 31 minutes when Livorno midfielder Morosini began to stagger and then fell to the ground. Medical staff tried to revive him on the pitch and he was then rushed to the local hospital in an ambulance.

It is at first glance a similar situation to the one that saw Fabrice Muamba collapse during Tottenham-Bolton.

The chief cardiologist of the Pescara hospital was in the stands during the game and rushed down immediately to help.

'He looked at me in the eyes when he was taken into the ambulance,' Pescara's general manager, Danilo Iannascoli, told Sky Italia. 'We are living through a drama.'

Italian media reports said a car belonging to traffic police blocked the ambulance's way into the stadium and a window had to be broken so the car could be moved.

'I don't know if the ambulance was late, but I know that the entrance onto the pitch was blocked by a vehicle,' Iannascoli said. "Morosini collapsed, he tried to get back up but then collapsed again.'
