Not my issue that your delicate little sensibilities are to afraid to look at the bigger picture
Whether you care or not, I genuinely hope he makes a full recovery and can return to football full time, his wife had to watch that going on.
What causes a young man who has played football at the highest level for years, with no issues, cared for by a dedicated team of doctors and physios to end up in that position?
Footballers are just human beings and push their bodies to the limit so if there is a weakness then it will likely be exposed.
I heard tonight that Daley Blind had a similar issue a few years ago and had a mini defibrillator device attached to his heart then. Also collapsed again in preseason this year but has since played 42 games. He has had myocarditis issues all his life apparently but did not know until he collapsed.
Some are lucky like Eriksen and Muamba and some are not like Foe and a few others.
Personally I sympathise. 13 years ago, I had a stroke and lost some of my peripheral vision. I was lucky to survive with minimal after-effects. After dozens of tests, It was found to be caused by a hole in my heart (a similar condition to what Asa Hartford and Kanu had).
So there are many people born with slight defects in their heart (1 in 7 apparently) but it is more likely to instiate itself in a sportsman pushing their body to the limits. This has been the case for years even before all this conspiracy nonsense.
