MILAN (AP)—AC Milan forward Antonio Cassano was taken to the hospital with an undisclosed illness following Saturday’s 3-2 win at Roma, the club announced Sunday.
The Italy striker was brought to the Policlinico facility for tests after Milan’s plane touched down at Malpensa airport, Milan said on its website.
The ANSA news agency said people aboard the flight saw Cassano joking around with his teammates one moment, then having problems with his vision, speech and movement moments later.
He was expected to remain in the hospital another night.
Cassano played the final 17 minutes against Roma and contributed to Milan’s third goal by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng also picked up a bruise against Roma.
Milan visits BATE Borisov in the Champions League on Tuesday and was already without injured forward Alexandre Pato.
