Luton Town boss Mike Newell has revealed that Hatters defender Sol Davis suffered a stroke on Saturday.
The 27-year-old is currently in a specialist unit at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge.
Newell told his club's website: "Sol has made a bit of an improvement but he lost feeling in his left side and it has affected his speech.
"It was apparently a blockage to the brain that has caused it but I am not sure what the full details are."
Newell was speaking after his side's 5-0 defeat by Ipswich on Sunday.
Davis suffered the stroke soon after he and his team-mates left Luton to travel to Portman Road 24 hours before the match.
"We have kept quiet until now but that puts everything into perspective," added Newell. "I don't want distorted reports or sensationalism.
"Although we are not making excuses for our performance, our thoughts are all with Sol. I am not sure if that has had an effect on the players but it cannot really have helped."
Davis moved to Luton from Swindon for £60,000 in 2002 and has made over 150 appearances for the Hatters.

Illness seems to have taken a grip on footballers maybe its time for some sort of test procedure for them.

Suddenly, the 5-0 mauling today seems so insignificant. Get well soon Sol, we're really gonna miss you while you're out.

Many thanks to all of you from other clubs for your good wishes for Sol Davis.
We may be rivals but when something like this happens we can put that aside.
Thanks.
