No direct cause for the cardiac arrest could be found and as a precaution he had an internal cardiac defibrillator placed inside his body.
A week later, he experienced complications which prompted additional surgery to implant a defibrillator.
He was attended by doctors of both teams, who revived him with cardiac massage and the use of a defibrillator; he left the stadium in a stable condition, subsequently undergoing tests at the Salamanca University Hospital.
