Mali coach, Eric Chelle has come out to confirm that Tottenham midfielder, Yves Bissouma was suffering from Malaria throughout the team’s journey at AFCON. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, his blood test showed that he was battling Malaria during the tournament, but he was still able to feature in games because he felt he was used to the sickness.
Eric added that West African citizens are familiar with coping with the flu, and Bissouma is no different.
His words, “You know Yves and Moussa were suffering from malaria, regarding the blood tests. It’s not so serious, because someone born in West Africa is used to malaria, he could play but for Moussa it was different. It was the first time he contracted malaria, so he started some light training. We’ll take things carefully, but there’s no outbreak or anything.”
WOW.
