Olympiakos’ ongoing Super League clash against Panathinaikos has been overshadowed by an episode involving Michael Olaitan.

With less than 35 minutes into the match, the attacker inexplicably collapsed without being touched by an opponent.

The medical staff of both teams had to work hand in hand to give the Nigerian first aid before he was stretchered off the pitch.

According to latest information from the Greek media, the 21 - year - old fell down awkwardly, landing on his neck when he suddenly fell on the playing surface.

The good news is that Michael Olaitan is now in stable condition but further tests will be carried out to ascertain the cause of the incident.

Regarded as one of the top talents in Greek football, the ex Flying Eagle star has netted 11 goals in 23 matches in all competitions this season.
