Heart problems for Adam Ounas after Covid-19 infection.
This was said by the Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi explaining why the Napoli striker has never been employed in the Africa Cup.
"There is the medical secret but for Adam Ounas, after Covid, cardiac investigations are needed, there is a hellish machine that starts up. If we say the player has the virus over, we don't see it anymore. We have seen players like Aubameyang or Lemina from Gabon who left the tournament with heart problems. So we couldn't say everything, there were strict regulations. We had to do chest x-rays and everything that followed ”, the words of the technical commissioner.
"Since it was I who said not to communicate his health conditions, today I will do it in his place - added Belmadi -. We have to do many other tests since the last ones have detected something in the heart ”.
Yesterday, Algeria, holder of the title, was eliminated from the African Cup of Nations. The players will return to their respective locations, but it is not yet clear when Ounas - whose career has a brief spell in the Rossoblu last season - will return to Naples.
