Raphaël Varane says he suffered several concussions during his career. The 2018 world champion advocates banning heading games among children.
“My 7-year-old son plays football, and I advise him not to make headers,” he says. ‘For these specific cases, we are getting closer to professional misconduct,’ deplores Varane. The dangers of heading must be instilled on all amateur and youth football fields, says Varane, who retired from the French team since last World Cup.
