Matija Sarkic, England’s Millwall goalkeeper and Montenegro international, died early Saturday morning at the age of 26. According to the English press, the goalkeeper fell ill while in the national team camp, where 10 days ago he was in the starting lineup and played 90 minutes in a friendly match against Belgium. Medical crews were called around 6:30 a.m. to treat the player, who did not survive.
Millwall reported the tragedy on their official website and said they were “completely devastated” by the news. “Everyone at the club expresses their condolences and love to Matija’s family and friends at this time of great sadness,” the English club said in a statement.
Sarkic, who has represented clubs such as Wolverhampton Wolverhampton and Aston Villa throughout his career, won nine caps for Montenegro during his career.
