Mosquera recovering after cardiac arrest during training with German club

Colombian forward John Jairo Mosquera is recovering after a cardiac arrest during training with Germany's Carl Zeiss Jena.

The second division club said 19-year-old Mosquera collapsed suddenly on Wednesday. He was revived by club doctor Heribert Zitzmann and taken in stable condition to the hospital in nearby Gifhorn.

"(He is) doing well at the moment," Dr. Ruediger Wacker said at the hospital.

Mosquera will now undergo checks to determine the cause of the heart problem.

The Colombian is on trial with Jena after being loaned to Wacker Burghausen last season by Werder Bremen.
