Raphael Dwamena, who plays for KF Egnatia, has collapsed and died.<\/p>\n
The UK Mirror reports that the 28-year-old passed away after suffering from a fatal heart attack.<\/p>\n
The former Ghanaian international was playing against Partizani Tirana on Saturday, when he collapsed in the 23rd minute of the game.<\/p>\n
The match was abandoned as medical staff tried to resusitate Dwamena.<\/p>\n
He was eventually rushed to the nearest hospital in Kavaja, but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival after suffering another heart attack.<\/p>\n
Dwamena first became aware of a problem with his heart when a defect was discovered in 2017.<\/p>\n
He had an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) fitted in October 2021, after collapsing during an Austrian Cup match.<\/p>\n
