In a post on X, Dundee stated: “The club would like to provide a short update on the condition of Mo Sylla after Mo took unwell yesterday in the Dundee dressing room at half-time. Mo was quickly attended to by the club’s medical team and paramedics.

“He was transferred to Ninewells Hospital Accident and Emergency Department and by this point was responsive and talking to those around him.

“After an initial assessment, he was admitted for further investigations and currently remains in Ninewells Hospital.

“The club will provide a further update in due course.”

Speaking after the match at Dens Park, Dundee manager Tony Docherty said: “He is responsive at the moment. It wasn’t a nice thing to see. Mo took a turn at half-time.

“The medics were involved and we had to get the players out of there. He’s responsive. He’s in hospital right now. We’ll just need to assess that and see how he is.”
