Ex-Bristol Rovers player has heart monitor fitted and could play again after collapsing on pitch

Former Bristol Rovers defender Pablo Martinez has been told there is "no reason why he should not play football again" after having a heart monitor fitted.

The 21-year-old collapsed while playing for Chippenham Town against Chelmsford City last Saturday. He was stabilised and breathing by the time he was taken to Bristol Royal Infirmary.

Martinez remains in hospital while he recovers from the incident, which occurred in the 27th minute of the National League South fixture.
