The 24-year-old was substituted after 38 minutes of play on Sunday. He announced in July 2023 that he was suffering from heart problems. Cardiologist Pedro Brugada, who carried out additional examinations, then authorized the player to “continue his career without any risk”. The medical commission of the French football federation (FFF) nevertheless decided otherwise, and revoked the license of the player who had to leave his then club, Stade Brestois.
