Royal Antwerp have confirmed that youth player Joel Lobanzo has died following a cardiac arrest during a training session.

"We discovered this terrible news that Joel Lobanzo, a 17-year-old youth player from RAFC, died last night," the club statement said.

"The medical supervisor and trainers who were in the vicinity of the player immediately started the resuscitation, after which the MUG team transferred the player to the UZA in critical condition. The young man remained in critical condition for more than one day, but died on Thursday.

This is further communicated internally."
