The 21-year-old forward, Billy Vigar, who had previously been part of the Arsenal academy, is now playing for Chichester City in the Isthmian League Premier Division. During a recent match, he sustained a severe brain injury, leading to the decision to place him in an induced coma for medical treatment.

Vigar had left Arsenal on a permanent basis in 2024 to pursue opportunities with other clubs. His move to Chichester City provided him with a platform to continue his development in the lower tiers of English football.

The football community has rallied behind Vigar and his family during this challenging time. Messages of support and well-wishes have been pouring in from fans, former teammates, and footballing figures across the globe.

This unfortunate incident underscores the importance of prioritizing player safety in sports. Clubs and governing bodies must continue to emphasize the well-being of athletes and take necessary precautions to prevent such serious injuries in the future.
