H2Owl Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Get well soon Quote Wigan Athletic striker Charlie Wyke will not be available for selection for the immediate future. The 28-year-old collapsed during training in the build up to Latics’ Sky Bet League One match at Cambridge United and, after receiving treatment from the Club’s medical staff, Charlie was taken to hospital where he continues to be monitored. We are pleased to say Charlie is in a stable condition and is in communication with his family, hospital staff and the Club’s medical team. Charlie will continue to be monitored closely by an independent medical consultant and the Club’s medical staff over the next few days. Wigan Athletic Chief Executive, Mal Brannigan, said: “First and foremost, the absolute priority for everyone associated with Wigan Athletic is Charlie’s health and wellbeing and providing support to him and his family. “As a Club, we would like to place on record our sincere appreciation to all of the staff within the NHS who, within what we know are challenging times, were excellent in their response and subsequent care for Charlie, working together with our medical team. “Clearly this news will cause alarm, though we would politely request that the privacy of Charlie and his family is respected. At the appropriate time, we will look to provide further updates to our supporters.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Well, it's either Covid-19 related or something else footballers have started taking over the last 18 months. It's not vaccine related; most footballers aren't having it apparently. I'm not sure who has the authority to compare the lifestyles of John Fleck and Charlie Wyke, but it might throw up some possible answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was lifestyle related we would have been having consistent number of cases throughout the years - not a significant spike now Also i'm not sure what the vaccine uptake is in footballers - but it doesn't need to be generally high - the vaccine status of those suffering these rare events need to be established - and also whether they have had covid or not These are unprecedented times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High performance athletes are at such a physical level, all the supplements and energy products are putting too much strain on the hearts. That’s from the mouth of a cardiologist I had a conversation with a few years ago who predicted that energy drinks will have a confound effect on this current generation of sportsmen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazzaswfc Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I'm starting to think it's covid related. Not the vaccine but I wonder if long covid or just having had it is adding a strain, we know athletes push their bodies to the limits. we have no idea whether this is related or a coincidence but I guess medical professionals will already be looking at long term affects. Fleck tested positive in the summer so it does make you wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The Aguero one got my attention. He’s had Covid before I believe? Then comes back into the Barca team after injury and gets ill ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
