Khali Seeks Surgeon Advice

Last updated : 29 October 2004 By Mark Heys
Senegal midfielder Khalilou Fadiga is heading back to Belgium to visit the heart specialist who performed surgery on him just to make sure that there are no further concerns over the players health following a recent scare.

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce confirmed that both Fadiga and the surgeon would meet to review the situation and says that the visit is purely as a precautionary measure.

"We have put him on a plane to his specialist in Belgium. He is due to have a meeting and they will decide what the situation is. Khalilou came out all-clear from the hospital but as a precautionary measure we have sent him to his surgeon to check him over and give us an opinion.

"It is too early to link his fainting to the heart problems. The specialist who knows the full case history can sort it out."
