"An ischemic brain distress caused by a patent atrial cardiac foramen ovale". This is the diagnosis, according to reports from the official press release from AC Milan, on the conditions of Antonio Cassano. Translated into simple words: the Bari talent will have to undergo heart surgery, after which he will have to wait for suitability from the Football Federation and wait for full recovery for the return to competitive activity. Times? Doctors say he will need a few months, not only to heal but also to follow the procedure.
"I don't want to anticipate anything - said the Rossoneri CEO Adriano Galliani as he left the Milan hospital - but presumably in 4, 5 or 6 months he should definitely be fit to play again”.
The footballer will therefore be subjected to a test in the next few days small interventional cardiology surgery (closure of the foramen ovale).
Adriano Galliani appears relieved: “Antonio's conditions are good, the boy is fine, but I'm not a doctor: the press release says it all. I was very, very worried. Antonio is now joking as usual, he misses football, he told me he's sorry because he was doing very well, I told him not to worry: we'll keep his place".
When asked about the future of Fantantonio's career, Galliani reassured everyone: 'His career is not at risk'.
