Ajax defender, Daley Blind, has been diagnosed with a heart condition, after feeling dizzy against Valencia in the Champions League earlier this month.
The former Manchester United defender has missed the previous two matches for the Dutch giants, as he undergoes rehabilitation and recovery.
He has now been ruled out indefinitely .
After a medical examination, the club revealed that Blind was “diagnosed with heart muscle inflammation”.
He has been fitted with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator. It sends electrical pulses to regulate abnormal heart rhythms, specifically those that can be dangerous and cause a cardiac arrest.
Blind, 29, posted a video to his Twitter account to let everyone know that he appreciated the support he has received and that he is “feeling good”.
“First of all, I want to thank you guys for all the messages you sent me. I really appreciate it and it helped me,” he said.
“Secondly, I have just posted an update online saying about my condition. Mots important thing now is that I’m feeling good at the moment.”
He added: “I am trying to come back as soon as possible. Again, thank you for everything and I will see you guys soon.”
