Will be out for an age no doubt. Again we'll not see him until November. Unfortunate, but we need a extra striker anyway.

Get well soon.

But God damn on a footballing (selfish) level. For the first time in a few season it seemed as if he was settled and ready for a pre season that he has been missing. Could have really made a difference to his form this season,

reading the official site article I'd say he'll be fine after the squad is back from the US tour

Anyone know how long it'll take him to recover?

Real shame, get well soon Ade.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

FFS! Another messed up pre season for him then :-(

Statement says 7 days till he can return to training. Caught at early stage.

No way to say really. Best case 3 weeks or so I'd say. Worst case ... well ... You know. Malaria kills

Edit ^^ just seen above.

Misses the US tour.

Not good, hopefully about up to speed for the start of the season.

A bit silly considering how effective retrovials are these days and at £1/day, it's not like funds are an issue

Malaria treatments not by retrovirals I'm pretty sure

Malaria is a parasite not a virus.

Who will buy him now?

I've had to have lots of malaria training with work and the dangerous part is the parasite can get you a good few months after you return from a malaria zone and long after you've stopped taking malarone or similar.

Our company lost someone a few years ago as he'd be working in Africa and about 3 weeks after getting back to Scotland he got ill. Everyone thought it was a cold but 4 days later he had died.

Fortunately effects if malaria get weaker each time you get it. A good friend of mine working in the Congo says he catches it every year but you usually get over it quickly once you've had it a few times. Long time use of malarone fucks your kidneys up and so treatment is usually preferred over prevention.

When Ade goes back to Africa bad things always happen.

 

[chinaman]

That would set him back something like 3 weeks? Most importantly, he'll miss the tactical part of Poch's system by missing the tour.

 

[gibbospurs]

Useless twat!

Again. Doesn't do preseason a does he.

Zokora was out for ages when he got malaria. Even when he came back he was obviously affected by it for some time.
