Ajax defender Daley Blind is ‘’okay and feeling fine’’ after suffering a health scare.
The former Manchester United star collapsed before being substituted during a friendly match with Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old had an ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) fitted in December after being diagnosed with an inflammation of his heart muscle.
Blind, who began his career with Ajax, spent four years at Manchester United before returning to his boyhood club in 2018.
A club statement read: “Daley Blind collapsed and was taken off during the Ajax-Hertha match. The central defender feels good under the circumstances and was at Sportpark De Toekomst on Wednesday morning.
“He will be examined further and await the results of these tests before resuming training.”
The Eredivisie season is scheduled to get underway on September 13. It remains unclear whether Blind will be ready.
