Unfortunately I suspect it's serious.
Don't remember tbh.When he collapsed for us didnt they say there was an underlying health condition?
Reading away. Went down like a sack of potatoes. John Fleck, our Scottish hero!Don't remember tbh.
Hope he's okay and a speedy recovery, think with this being the 2nd time then it could be him retiring.Chesterfield's game has been delayed due to a medical issue with Fleck. Anyone heard more? Fingers crossed.
If it's something that could be triggered randomly packing it in for a local radio gig wouldn't make any sense or stop it happening again...Time to pack it in now John!
Would love to hear him on commentary for us tbh.
Yeah, obviously I remember that. It's the underlying condition part I didn't remember.Reading away. Went down like a sack of potatoes. John Fleck, our Scottish hero!
I’ll just check his confidential medical records for you and let you knowWas there no clue as to the medical diagnosis after Reading ?
Nothing was said, as such, but it was as if they knew what it was, but didn't give any information. Obviously if that's what Flecky wanted, then it's how it should be.Was there no clue as to the medical diagnosis after Reading ?
Yeah he should definitely give up playing so the same thing can happen while he's doing commentary instead...Time to pack it in now John!

Because sitting down and producing commentary on games is less taxing than playing high level professional football.Yeah he should definitely give up playing so the same thing can happen while he's doing commentary instead...
Why continue being a professional footballer when you can do something less interesting for less money but still have the same health condition?
That's only relevant if exercise is a contributing factor to his condition, seizures triggered by exercise are rare. If it had been determined that exercise was likely to be a trigger/contributing factor to his seizures then it's unlikely he'd have been allowed to play and been able to be insured after the first incident. So chances are it's not linked to exercise and could as easily happen while doing comms on a game. I've seen it reported that he was aware of the condition before the first time it happened on a football pitch due to it also happening while he was at home.Because sitting down and producing commentary on games is less taxing than playing high level professional football.
Quick science lesson for you and I'll do it for free
Here goes: When you push your body above and beyond the level of your standard daily routine then it is going to require more energy output from the body. In order to do this, the body will need to burn fuel and then transport it around the body, meaning it is put under greater stress. The added stress is obviously going to put you at risk of aggravating any existing issues - the same way that redlining your car in each gear when you have an existing issue will likely fuck the car up worse.
If insurance/clearance to play was an issue then why is Christian Eriksen still playing?That's only relevant if exercise is a contributing factor to his condition, seizures triggered by exercise are rare.

So thank you for the science lesson, I'm glad it was free because if it wasn't I'd be asking for a refund due to it missing key information.
Christian Eriksen has a completely different condition. He now has an implanted defibrillator, in some countries he's now able to be insured as the insurers consider that a suitable mitigation against future cardiac arrests.If insurance/clearance to play was an issue then why is Christian Eriksen still playing?
Rare as it may be, it can't be ruled out.
Not sure why you felt the need in your original post to respond so sarcastically![]()
I couldn't remember if there'd been anything in the media at the time.I’ll just check his confidential medical records for you and let you know![]()
You're either not understanding, or ignoring my point. Whichever it is I won't waste any more time arguing with you. Enjoy your night and just to reiterate, there's no need for the sarcasmChristian Eriksen has a completely different condition. He now has an implanted defibrillator, in some countries he's now able to be insured as the insurers consider that a suitable mitigation against future cardiac arrests.
At the time he wasn't able to be insured in Italy which is why he has his contract terminated by mutual agreement at Inter and returned to the UK where he would be able to be insured.
Fleck didn't suffer a cardiac arrest so it's not really comparable.
Okay then. "Quick science lesson for you and I'll do it for freeYou're either not understanding, or ignoring my point. Whichever it is I won't waste any more time arguing with you. Enjoy your night and just to reiterate, there's no need for the sarcasm
