This Monday, the KAA Gant also gave news about his player. “Noah Fadiga is doing well after a brief bout of discomfort during Sunday’s match against Standard.” As a reminder, the right defender has already experienced heart problems. This is also why he had to leave France to return to Belgium. “Noah Fadiga is doing well after a brief bout of discomfort during Sunday’s match against Standard. Additional examinations will be carried out at the hospital in the coming days to take stock. The club will communicate again the following day when there is more news.”

Like the player, Wouter Vrancken was particularly touched by this moment which could have gone wrong. “Like everyone else, I was very shocked by Fadiga”began the coach for Sporza. “He fell into my arms. I’m not a doctor so I won’t make any statement. I’m happy he’s stable, that’s the most important thing.”
Quickly, however, the club wanted to reassure: “The first cardiological examinations showed no heart problems.” Noted that he was fully authorized to be able to play in Belgium since the rules are different in cardiac matters. This is particularly what pushed Christian Eriksen to leave Inter Milan to return to England and Manchester United. Each championship adopts different specifications regarding medical problems.
