Mali probably not going that far though.
Hopefully not much more than a bit of warm weather training for Biss.
So does Bentancur.
Sadly we've been missing our best 3 MFs for a v.significant amount of the season.

Malaria for Yves. Why he was subbed off
Not officially confirmed yet....
And are somehow still within a point of top 4!
Malaria can be tricky as I understand it. So here's hoping that he gets the best of care.
It's not contagious...
....yeah... yeah, course I knew that... I was just... just just.... no YOU shut up!
Shit, I'm an idiot... Lucky this was just a private reply between us, and not on the main thread SO EVERYONE could see....
DAMMIT!
....ahhhh, ahhhh yeah but no but, WHAT if a Mosquito stowed away in his luggage, and Biss brings it into the dressing room, and it BITES EVERYONE! Yeah!! Ever thought of THAT likely outcome?? Nah, thought not!

If true, should he have played with it?
As an aside, you get some wild dreams on those anti malaria tablets. Quite the experience.

Did it say rohypnol on them?
If yes, they weren't malaria tablets. And those weren't dreams you had.
As long as you enjoyed the ride, eh?!
Did he feel poorly and then they did a rapid test for malaria or did a test for malaria become positive during the game?
You would have to wonder if this i true at all, but if it is and he had a positive malaria test before the game it is an extremely poor medical mistreatment to let him play at all.
Even the mildest but confirmed malaria cases are much preferably treated in a hospital with specialists in infection medicine. Not least because the medicine has some pretty severe side effects.
Flippin eck! Malaria. That must be tough to take with the tournament just started. Poor lad.
Where's he going to be treated? Out there or back here?
Yeah. Larium was the worst anti-malarial for side effects. We took it on our way to Vietnam about 20 years ago and my wife and I were tripping (I felt like I was inside a fish tank, looking out) on our stopover at Bangkok airport so we put our 17-year old son in charge of getting us on our flight. He said he was fine, but TBH probably just liked the effect.
We binned the stuff after that and just took the risk of catching malaria. Larium was eventually linked to military murders, suicides and self harm and is now banned in most countries.
Malarone is OK though. I've taken that several times and have had no side effects at all.
It all depends on the variant of Malaria parasite and severity of symtoms. There's different ones endemic to different areas/countries.
