The player was taken to the hospital assigned by FIFA to Peru where he regained consciousness and underwent all the relevant medical examinations, according to the FPF.
Doctor Julio Segura assured that “the results have been favourable for the player”, but added that “following medical advice, he will remain in hospital.”
Peru can’t progress to the next stage of the World Cup after losing their first two games, but will still play against Australia in their final Group C match on June 26 in Sochi.
