The team was jogging around the field when Linda Caicedo clutched her chest and fell to the field.
She turned onto her back as members of the team and medical staff tended to her.

Caicedo was evaluated, and the team’s trainer, Andrés Gómez, said the “report was positive.”
“Linda is very tired,” a medical spokesperson for the team said. “What happened was just a symptom of all the stress and physical demands. She is well and all is back to normal.”
