Cameroon soccer player Clement Francis, who was serving his apprenticeship at a Vietnamese club based in central Nghe An province, suddenly died, according to a provincial hospital yesterday.

The player had signs of congenital cardiovascular disease, the Military Zone No. 4 Hospital said, noting that he had died on the way to the hospital on Oct. 12.

Defender Clement Francis suddenly fell down unconscious while doing a warm-up with members of the Military Zone No. 4 - Sara Group Club.

Francis and two of his fellow countrymen started to serve their apprenticeship at the club in early October. The club and the defender have yet to sign any contracts.
