TodwickOwl Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Collapsed on the pitch tonight at Reading and needed urgent medical attention. Never good seeing that and these things are obviously much bigger than a football rivalry, get well soon. But begs the question, what’s going on recently - why’s this situation more prominent?

thommowl Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Get well soon John Fleck, blade or not its not what you wanna see. Hope he can continue to play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Sounds like he had a seizure or something. Hopefully will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkskaphil Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 To be honest, I’ve always been surprised it’s not more commonplace. There are plenty of different reasons for somebody passing out unexpectedly - I’ve done so myself - and there are a lot of pro footballers. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious and he recovers fully.

WatfordOwl Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Just saw there was over 12 mins of injury time and wondered what had brought that about. Hope he's not in any serious trouble and back playing asap. I suppose it's more and more elite level athletes pushing themselves to extremes that highlight any missed underlying condition that may be there. It seems to have happened in more frequency because of a number of high profile players collapsing, Eriksen, Aguero......... Probably too early to analyse what's going on, but thoughts are with him for a full recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helmut_rooster Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Not medical person at all but could this be Covid related? Lasting effects? Erikson? Man In crowd at Newcastle? 2 people at a West Brom game recently? Flecky tonight? Looked horrible, shaking uncontrollably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are we going down the crackpot vaccine track? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying any of it is related btw, but I'm sure there's loads of us who have had covid without knowing. P.s.

scram Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 From what I have seen reported he was allowed to stand up before being taken off That would likely rule out a cardiac event - certainly not one that required attention on the pitch Hopefully it's not something that will harm his health or indeed his career 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you disagree with the state narrative pumped out by the BBC you’re a right wing anti Vaxer racist thug. Anyway hope he is ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im no expert but surely artificially adding extreme amounts of a stimulant to your body on a regular basis would have a negative effect after years of regular use? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
