Hopefully he gets a move to a country that allows him to play with it in instead.
It sounds very risky to have him remove it so soon after putting it in.

Why would the league allow him to play if he had it removed but not with it, surely that's more dangerous as it is there to protect him?
Yep. It's an insurance nightmare. I doubt anyone is encouraging him to risk his life in order to play.Their argument is that if he cannot play without it, his condition is so serious that he should not be allowed to play. So there is some logic to it. Either it was a one-off cardiac incident that has been resolved (and therefore the defibrillator is not necessary) or it is a chronic cardiac condition in which case a football career is out of the question.
I guess it's just an over simplification in the headline then, it comes across as them saying take it out and you can play, which if the medical advice is to have it (and obviously it is otherwise it wouldn't be there...) is irresponsible to even suggest.Their argument is that if he cannot play without it, his condition is so serious that he should not be allowed to play.

But really they are basically saying he can't play.
There are one or two less competitive leagues he could go to where he could see out the rest of his career and take it easier, shame though at only 28 he still had a lot to offer.Seems to me the sensible decision is to retire, as he doesn't need to jeopardize his future health. But if there is a way for him to continue, in another league/country, then I assume he will take up the opportunity. He is still young enough to want to continue playing, but I hope he is given the right medical advice and he makes the right decision for him and his family.
