[Superjay]

Suffered a stroke. No news on how severe yet.

 

Never really liked the lad but I don't wish that on anyone. Best wishes to the lad.

Gattuso also blind in one eye after the same game ?

Bloody hell.

I mean, Cassano is a mentalist but jaysus, no-one has a stroke at that age

 

MILAN, Oct 31 (Reuters) - AC Milan and Italy forward Antonio Cassano, in hospital after being struck down with an undiagnosed illness on Saturday, has shown a "marked improvement", the Serie A champions said Monday.

The club denied reports that the 29-year-old player, who was taken ill on the flight back from the 3-2 win at AS Roma on Saturday, had suffered a stroke.

"AC Milan inform that the news in circulation containing a hypothetical diagnosis on Antonio Cassano's state of health cannot be considered true as it does not come from an accredited medical source," Milan said in a statement.

"AC Milan underline that Antonio Cassano is in a phase of marked improvement and in the next few days will undergo further medical examinations."

Didi Hamman had one at a younger age than that

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

did he?

[Raj]

did he?

 

yep. think it was when he was at bayern.

[Foo]

That was how he learned the Didi slump.

Gattuso's eye injury happened some weeks ago. He was not seeing clearly but opted to play vs Lazio. He had to come off as he was seeing double. He has improved since. Problem is with one of the nerves in the eye.

cocaine.

[Earl Hafler]

cocaine.

 

 

 

Possibly.

[muleskinner]

cocaine.

Is this fact or your opinion?

[yellow jumper]

i've omitted a question mark.

 

all i know is that cocaine use can increase your chances of having a stroke, particularly at such a young age.

[muleskinner]

Does he have any history of coke use?

[Stevie H]

when he was at madrid he was known for the size of his cake habit. don't know about the beak.

[The Hitman]

Something to do with his brain apparently.

Which is ironic, given I was never entirely sure he had one.

[Nebraska Red]

surprised nobody has blamed Zlatan or Inzaghi.
