Overview
- The SV Babelsberg 03 II goalkeeper, Sebastian Schott, was knocked unconscious after a collision with a teammate about 20 minutes into the match on Saturday and required immediate emergency care.
- Ambulances and an ADAC rescue helicopter responded, medical staff stabilised Schott on the pitch, and he was airlifted to the Virchow-Klinikum in Berlin.
- Club statements and multiple reports say Schott was placed in an induced (artificial) coma at the hospital, but doctors have not publicly given a prognosis or detailed medical update.
- The sixth-matchday Landesklasse West fixture between Pankower SV Rot-Weiß and SV Babelsberg 03 II was abandoned by mutual agreement of both teams and the referees.
- The incident took place in the seventh-tier amateur league where on-field medical resources are often limited, the transfer to a major trauma centre signals suspected severe brain injury, and some reports naming the teammate involved have not been independently confirmed.
