Hungary players pay tribute to injured team-mate Varga
Budapest, Hungary -
Hungary forward Barnabas Varga is in hospital in stable condition after suffering a fractured cheekbone and being taken from the field on a stretcher during the team's final group match at the European Championship on Sunday.
Varga was injured in a collision with Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall in the second half of Hungary's 3-0 defeat in Budapest.
The 28-year-old was given oxygen on the pitch before being taken to hospital, where he underwent surgery.
Hungary coach Marco Rossi said after the game that Varga's injury was "a big blow" for the team.
"He's a very important player for us and we'll miss him," Rossi said.
Hungary finished third in Group F and will not advance to the knockout rounds.
