Clive Clarke's heart 'stopped twice' after he collapsed
at The City Ground, according to the player's agent.
The on-loan Leicester City defender collapsed during half-time of
the second round Carling Cup tie at Nottingham Forest.
Clarke's agent Gary Mellor has revealed that paramedics had to use
a defibrillator before the Irishman was taken to hospital.
He is now recovering in hospital and is in a 'stable' condition as
doctors examine what caused the problem.

"Clive is sitting up and talking and he is going to have more tests
at the hospital," Mellor told a Radio station in UK.
"They won't give us any idea as to when he will be released. They
don't want to tell us any more until they know exactly what
happened.
"It appears Clive's heart stopped twice and mouth-to-mouth didn't
work, so the paramedics had to use a defibrillator.
"His family are very upset, especially after what happened with the
Sevilla player Antonio Puerta dying recently. We just hope he's
going to be okay."
Puerta died on Tuesday after suffering a heart attack during
Sevilla's Primera Liga game with Getafe last Saturday.
