Hungary star Barnabas Varga will miss the rest of Euro 2024 following a serious injury against Scotland. Varga collided with Scottish goalkeeper Angus Gunn, resulting in facial fractures. Medics rushed to assist Varga, covering him with sheets as distraught teammates, including Dominik Szoboszlai, looked on.

Hungary head coach Marco Rossi confirmed Varga’s condition post-match, stating, “Barnabás Varga’s life is not in danger. He will undergo an operation for the fracture in his face and won’t be available for the rest of Euro 2024.” UEFA aired a wide-angle replay of Scotland’s 1-0 defeat but avoided close-ups of the incident. The BBC, using the host nation’s feed, apologized for the broadcast. Varga was stretchered off, with Szoboszlai assisting, as fans applauded. Varga was reportedly conscious and communicating en route to the hospital.

Substitute Martin Adam replaced Varga, and Hungary eventually scored through Kevin Csoboth in the 100th minute, eliminating Scotland. Despite a late push and a contentious penalty decision involving Stuart Armstrong, Scotland fell short. Angus Gunn expressed hope for Varga’s recovery, emphasizing the team’s commitment and resilience throughout the match.
