If one gazes across social media in Europe today (24 hours after the game)...lot of chatter over this. Doctors indicate that once he stabilizes...they will do some research on his medical background. These guys however...all have yearly physicals with the clubs, so it’s doubtful that he had a condition existing prior to the game.

So unless they can attribute some of this to drug-use...the vaccination is going to be discussed heavily.

If I were a player in this series now....knowing I had the vaccination in the past month or so...I’d be asking for a full exam and see if heart inflammation now exists. You could see a dozen players drop out of the series over issues like this.

Once he stabilizes?!

Are they waiting for anything that would show up on testing to clear?!

More here on why they might be waiting to test. Not for a good reason.

"unless they can attribute some of this to drug-use"

Blood doping and other PED's are a thing soccer, the former leading to strokes (famous lethal cases of this happening during games).

Yeah, when he was in the Premier League with Tottenham they had extensive stress testing before each season, so I doubt it was a preexisting condition.
