Balde, 14, is rated as one of German football’s best young prospects.
But there was huge cause for concern last night when he fell to the floor during Hamburg’s U17s clash with SV Eichede.
According to Bild, Balde was just about to come on as a sub in the 60th minute when he collapsed.
The teenager “lay trembling all over” in what was believed to be an epileptic seizure.
And with Hamburg 2-1 up, the game was immediately abandoned as medics rushed Balde to hospital.
