Saltash United defender Caleb Summerfield has been given the all-clear after having tests on his heart and respiratory system.

The 18-year-old left back needed treatment from paramedics after having to be substituted during Wednesday’s Carlsberg South West Peninsula League premier division game against Exmouth Town at Kimberley Stadium.

Saltash manager Matt Cusack said: ‘It is good news for Caleb but we won’t play him at the weekend.’

Summerfield looked to be having breathing problems early on in Wednesday’s match but he continued playing until two minutes before half-time when he went down holding his back.

After treatment during the half-time break, Summerfield re-emerged for the second half but collapsed again on the hour, when he was substituted.

He walked back to the dressing room but he continued to feel unwell and he received further treatment from paramedics in an ambulance outside the Kimberley Stadium ground.
