Robbie Savage rushed to hospital during Mount Kilimanjaro trek

Football pundit and former Leicester City and Derby County midfielder Robbie Savage had to be taken to hospital after suffering altitude sickness during a Mount Kilimanjaro charity trek.

Robbie was 13,000 feet up the mountain in Tanzania with a team of 25 when he became seriously ill. He tweeted that he had 'dangerously low oxygen' in his blood and also had fluid on a lung.

Robbie, who is still in Tanzania, is now working to put fresh water in villages and schools. He says while 'the mountain may have beaten [him], nothing will stop [him] making the community happy'.

He also sent his wishes to the remaining 25 who are continuing the trek.
