BBC commentator Steve Wilson said Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai was left "in tears" by the incident.
Varga was stretchered off with a huge sheet around him to protect his privacy. Fans on social media are sending their best wishes to the Ferencváros star, with one saying: "Hopefully Varga is alright that was nasty collision."
A second said: "Fingers crossed Hungarian striker Varga is OK."
A third stated: "Hope he is okay."
And a fourth said: "I hope Varga is alright this looks nasty!"
There was a VAR check in the aftermath of the incident but no penalty was given.
It has since been confirmed by the Hungarian FA that Varga is in a 'stable condition' and 'conscious', which is a huge relief.
And manager Marco Rossi has confirmed the forward's life 'isn't in danger', though he will miss the rest of the tournament.
Scotland icon Pat Nevin believes that was the right calling, telling 5 Live: "We have seen it before if a keeper comes out and he doesn't get the ball but takes a player it is a foul.
"I actually think Angus Gunn got some of the ball there."
