‘No delay’ treating Barnabas Varga insists Uefa after horror injury against Scotland

  • Dominik Szoboszlai demands to know why medics ‘didn’t rush in’
  • But governing body believes Hungarian was well cared for

Uefa has defended the speed with which treatment was given to Hungary’s Barnabas Varga during Sunday’s Group A win over Scotland, after the Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai added to criticism of medical staff for what he perceived as a slow reaction to his teammate’s injury. European football’s governing body insists Varga was attended to with “no delay”.

Varga appeared to collide with the elbow of Angus Gunn, the Scotland goalkeeper, when attempting to meet a Szoboszlai free-kick in the 68th minute. The seriousness of the situation was instantly apparent, and two medics reached him inside 20 seconds. About 45 seconds after the collision, sheeting was placed around Varga to block the view of others in the Stuttgart Stadium and watching on television. It was later revealed Varga had initially been unconscious, sustained a concussion and required surgery on several broken bones in his face.

£1 Thursdays review – nightclubbing, sex talk and big decisions

Finborough theatre, London A mix of sweet observations about female friendship and cheeky brazenness about sex, Kat Rose-Martin’s play finds two young women at a crossroads in their lives In the cold air outside a sticky nightclub in Bradford, 17-year-olds Stacey and Jen are at a crossroads. In one direction lies the world they know: the family stress, the looming exams, the pumping pop beats at the club where they’ll reliably pull boys from school. In the other direction lies an uncertain path, and questions of who they are apart from one another, whether they could be the first in their families to go to university, and how to afford it if they do. Constantly on their minds, while they’re drunkenly dancing the nights away, is where they’ll end up, and what to do if they are the ones left behind. Thoughtful if not revelatory, £1 Thursdays covers an uneasy period of big decisions in these characters’ lives, as the gap between them widens. Monique Ashe-Palmer (Six) is ebullient as St
