Leicester City chairman Milan Mandaric has revealed Clive Clarke is 'improving' after the defender collapsed at half-time during Tuesday's Carling Cup game at Nottingham Forest.

The 27-year-old centre-half suffered two heart failures in the dressing room at the City Ground before spending the night in a 'stable' condition in hospital.

The on-loan Sunderland defender was treated with a defibrillator but regained consciousness before being taken by ambulance to the Queen's Medical Centre.

"Encouragingly, Clive is improving and he's quite comfortable. It's important he just gets better," said Mandaric.

The game was abandoned after agreement from both sides and will now take place on September 18.

But Mandaric insisted the club were concentrating on Clarke's condition at the moment.

"It's a sad thing when you see a young man collapsing and getting down on the floor," he continued.

"It wasn't something that anyone can accept easily, but I think the most important thing now is that he gets out of hospital and gets on with his football."
