Clearly, Noah Fadiga is not done with health problems. On Sunday, the La Gantoise player lost consciousness during the match against Standard Liège, brilliantly won 5-0. The player was quickly rescued and even left the field standing, to the applause of his supporters.

This reminds us that in July 2023, just one year after his arrival in , Noah Fadiga had to leave the Breton club after “the existence of an irregular heartbeat” was detected. If the doctors authorized him to continue his career, the medical commission of the French Federation did not agree. And the player had to leave .

No link with family history

He therefore returned to his country, Belgium, to play at La Gantoise. After the accident on Sunday, the club indicated that its player had been “examined at length. Investigations revealed Noah had developed scar tissue on his heart muscle as a result of myocarditis, an inflammation following a viral infection. Myocarditis can cause a heart rhythm disorder, which is what actually happened to Noah last Sunday. »

As a result, the Senegalese international “will now undergo appropriate treatment and will also have a defibrillator implanted as a precautionary measure”. La Gantoise indicates that this accident has nothing to do with her family history. His father, Khalilou, who passed through , had suffered from ventricular tachycardia and had also had to have a defibrillator fitted.
