Antonio Puerta has died three days after collapsing on the field during Sevilla's match with Getafe.



The 22-year-old lost consciousness and fell near his own goal on Saturday, and then collapsed again in the changing rooms.


He was taken to an intensive care unit for treatment and Sevilla later announced he had suffered a heart attack.


Puerta was given assisted ventilation but the Virgen del Rocio hospital said in a statement on Tuesday that he was in a 'very critical' condition.


It has now been confirmed that Puerta, who earned one cap for Spain, has died.


The second leg of Sevilla's UEFA Champions League qualifier against AEK Athens, scheduled to take place on Tuesday, has been postponed.


The game will now be played next Monday.
