Victim of discomfort in March 2018
According to the British daily, the French international would be particularly vigilant with regard to the risks linked to the pandemic. His prudence would be explained by a family history of heart problem and by the discomfort - not serious - of which he had been victim in March 2018. That day, according to the Daily Telegraph , the former Leicester player had lost consciousness after a workout. The tests had found nothing and he had been allowed to play against Manchester City two days later. Nevertheless, he had not disputed the meeting.
