LOSC’s scathing update on Nabil Bentaleb’s state of health

The news sent chills down my spine. At only 29 years old, Nabil Bentaleb caused a lot of concern after the announcement of a serious illness that occurred during the evening of Tuesday June 18. Hospitalized, the LOSC midfielder had to return home after the reassuring news published three days ago by his club. However, this discomfort did not surprise everyone since some media recalled that myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) had been diagnosed in the player when he signed for LOSC during the summer of 2023. Today, RMC Sport provided new details on this matter. Bentaleb’s illness was in reality a cardiac arrest that occurred during a five-game in which the player participated on Tuesday June 18.

He then invites everyone to show patience, prudence and moderation on sensitive, confidential subjects, for which there is currently no response to be provided. Once again, LOSC and Nabil Bentaleb sincerely thank all those who provided the many testimonies of support», We can read in the press release published on the northern club’s website.
