Olympiakos striker Michael Olaitan is "stable" in a Greek hospital
after collapsing during the first half of a 3-0 defeat by Athens rivals
Panathinaikos.
The Nigerian, 21, was running off the ball when he fell to the ground.
Earlier, Panathinaikos manager Yannis Anastasiou, a
former coach at Reading, fell to the ground after being hit with an
object thrown from the crowd.
Olaitan, who helped Olympiakos beat Manchester United 2-0 on 25 February, regained consciousness before being taken to hospital for tests.
The game was goalless when Olaitan collapsed but
Olympiakos, the runaway leaders, fell behind just before half-time when
Croatian midfielder Danijel Pranjic scored.
Marcus Berg doubled the lead in the 67th minute before Mehdi Abeid
completed a miserable day for the home side when he scored with a
free-kick seconds before the final whistle.
