Torino’s Walukiewicz Hospitalized After Breathing Issues During Match

During a Serie A clash between Torino and Bologna, defender Sebastian Walukiewicz faced a health scare that led to his hospitalization. The 24-year-old Polish player encountered breathing problems following a challenge on the pitch.

Initially thought to be winded from the impact, Walukiewicz’s condition quickly became concerning, prompting medical staff to call for a stretcher. Though conscious and able to communicate, the defender underwent preliminary examinations at the stadium before being transported to a local hospital via ambulance for further testing.

Reports suggest that Walukiewicz had been battling flu-like symptoms in recent days, which may have contributed to his respiratory distress during the match. The incident occurred as Torino suffered a 2-0 defeat to Bologna.

Coach Paolo Zanetti did not address Walukiewicz’s situation in his post-match press conference, indicating that the player’s condition may not be critically serious. Mergim Vojvoda was brought on as a substitute following Walukiewicz’s departure from the game.

The club has not yet released an official statement regarding Walukiewicz’s current status or the results of his hospital tests. Fans and teammates alike are hopeful for a swift recovery and return to the pitch for the young defender.
