Angel City defender Savy King was recovering from heart surgery following her collapse on the field during a National Women's Soccer League match on Friday night.
King was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles following the medical event in the second half of Angel City's match against the Utah Royals. Doctors who evaluated King discovered a heart abnormality, and she underwent surgery Tuesday.
“She is now resting and recovering surrounded by her family, and her prognosis is excellent,” the team said in a statement.
King's family released a joint statement thanking the team's medical staff, King's fellow players and the hospital medical staff for her care.
