Mondragon hospitalized following alleged suicide attempt

Former Colombia international goalkeeper Faryd Mondragan is in "good condition" following a reported attempt to take his own life.

Faryd Mondragon is in a stable condition in hospital following a reported suicide attempt.

The former Philadelphia Union and Galatasaray goalkeeper was admitted to the Fundacion Valle del Lili clinic in Cali on Tuesday night and has suffered a "metabolic imbalance," with Colombian media suggesting it was the result of an attempted overdose.

Mondragon, who became the oldest player to feature at a World Cup when he came on as a substitute in Colombia's win over Japan in 2014 at age 43, posted a cryptic message on social media, which has since been deleted, hours before his admission.
