Medical issue forced AFC Wimbledon defender off in 1-0 loss to Rotherham United
AFC Wimbledon head coach Mark Robinson revealed that he had to take defender Dan Csoka off at half time because “his heart rate wouldn’t go down.”
The Hungarian centre-back, who has been capped by his country at U21 level, was replaced by Will Nightingale after the interval.
The 21-year-old was making his first start for the Dons since the 2-0 loss to Ipswich Town and formed a back three with Ben Heneghan and Paul Kalambayi.
Csoka has made 17 appearances in all competitions this season.
Robinson told the South London Press: “We had to take Dan off as he had a medical issue, unfortunately, at half time.
“That was a forced change. It’s no disrespect to Will, but a centre-back is never a position you want to change, especially against a team such as Rotherham.
“That was an enforced change, which wasn’t ideal because I thought Dan was doing really well in the first half.
He added: “His heart rate wouldn’t go down.
“We couldn’t take any risks with that. We were a bit worried about him, but he seems okay now.”
