Torquay United’s Aman Verma undergoes tests after collapsing

TORQUAY UNITED midfielder Aman Verma has undergone tests after collapsing following a training session.

The 27-year-old, currently on loan with the Gulls from fellow National League club Kidderminster Harriers, was sick during a gym session and was then taken ill later that evening.

Verma sat out of Tuesday night’s FA Trophy game against Macclesfield and will also miss Saturday’s game with Chester as he awaits the results.

Player-boss Kevin Nicholson said: “He was in a gym session and he was sick. The immediate reaction when that happens is the lads take the mick as he they thought he was broken in the gym, but it’s not like him as he’s a very fit lad.

“He started immediately with headaches and then in the evening he collapsed when he went to go to the toilet.

“He went to be looked at by the doctor the next morning and they couldn’t get to the bottom of what it was after having all kinds of tests and since then he’s been out of commission and he’s had a few other tests.

“With all that’s gone on lately in football with things like heart problems we couldn’t take any chances.”
