Friday, June 28, 2024 -Former Tottenham and Newcastle star, Nabil Bentaleb is considering retirement from football at the age of 29 after suffering a cardiac arrest last week.
On Thursday, French club Lille
confirmed that Nabil Bentaleb had been hospitalised due to an 'illness' and
revealed he was being taken care of at Lille University Hospital.
However, new reports now claim that the
Algerian international suffered a heart attack and is now contemplating hanging
up his boots for good.
According to RMC Sport, a defibrillator
was even necessary at the time accompanied by a cardiac massage before the
29-year-old underwent surgery.
The outlet further claims that Bentaleb's
surgery was successful and, during which, he was fitted with a pacemaker to
stabilize his cardiac activity.
However, despite the successful
operation, the Federation of French Football will make a decision over his
future and there are suggestions that Bentaleb could retire due to the incident.
His contract at Lille runs until 2026
and discussions should take place with insurance companies to find a solution
for the situation.
In a statement on the club website,
they confirmed: 'Hospitalized since last Tuesday at Lille University Hospital,
Nabil Bentaleb has since carried out several examinations and health checks
which have been reassuring.
'The LOSC midfielder is still under
observation in hospital but could return home during the week.
'The Club is delighted with this reassuring
news that it is able to communicate today and will naturally continue to
provide its full support in this ordeal to Nabil and his loved ones.
'LOSC and Nabil would like to thank
everyone who provided the many expressions of support'.
