    Never like to hear stories like that. Hope he has a full recovery and can continue his career.

    That's an awful thing to happen to anybody but in a career as short as football it feels especially worse. I really hope the doctors manage to find a way to cure it and he can continue. Sound very dangerous though. Wish him all the best.

    All the best amido, very short career is football, so hope he gets the best out of his career, but his health is clearly more important. Hope he recovers and can keep playing though.

    My aunt died of a similar condition. Glad it was caught and he has an excellent chance of recovery.

    He'll be fine, I'd expect. 6 months of anticoagulants.

    Lucky it was caught as not unheard of for young, healthy people to collapse and die with PEs.

    Get well soon big fella.

    Amido Balde has revealed he's living off wages he earned at the Parkhead club four years ago after not being paid by Portuguese club Maritimo for ten months because of a lung condition

    The striker cost the Hoops £1.8 million after arriving from Portuguese outfit Vitoria Guimaraes in 2013.

    Balde said: "I have not been paid for ten months. I constantly call the sporting director, but they say they do not have to pay me because I cannot play.

    I have had health problems and not been able to play and had to claim money from social security here.

    I have only survived because of the money I earned when I was at Celtic and the Players' Union, which has helped me.

    I’m a lot better now and tests have shown I do not have any blood clots any more."

    That's so * hateful. You'd think a team playing professional football would be insured to cover wages for injured or sick players. His agent should be embarrassed if he signed a contract with them conditions.

    Wow, disgusting.

    And yeah, surely to * they can't get away with that.
    Portuguese law will be different, but surely footballing contracts will cover that and then above that skill. EU law surely?
