Brighton player Julio Enciso says he ‘almost died’ on plane after fainting

He fainted on a plane before a passenger came to his rescue.

The Paraguayan international was eventually assisted by a passenger after feeling unwell during the flight.

As per Sport Witness, the midfielder stated: "My head hurts. I almost died, I fainted on the plane.

"I was powerless, I didn’t eat or sleep well. At one point I got up to go to the bathroom and I felt like I was falling.

"A guy grabbed me and took me to the front; He made me drink coke and a Japanese soup and that did me good."

Enciso featured in Brighton's huge 3-2 turnaround against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, appearing from the bench as the Seagulls launched a comeback.
