Ghanaian football star and AC Milan striker,
Michael Essien, has contracted the Ebola
Virus Disease, according to reports.
A report on News Wire quotes AC Milan
spokesman, Riccardo Coli as saying: ‘It has
come as a big shock to everyone involved
with the club but we are optimistic for Essien.
‘He is a very strong person and the Ebola has
been caught in the early stages. He’s in
experts hands so he should be fine.’
The AC Milan midfielder, who joined the
Italian giants in January this year, previously
played for Chelsea FC in the English
Premiership before joining AC Milan and has
had a successful career with clubs including
Bastia, Olympic Lyon and a loan spell at Real
Madrid under his belt.
Details regarding how and where the Ghana
international contracted the dreaded disease
which has left thousands dead and several
sick in West Africa are still sketchy but his
Italian club have confirmed it and an official
statement providing further details is being
expected.
Essien is the first sports-related victim of
Ebola since the virus disease, which kills just
days after it is contracted, broke out in March
this year in Guinea about 30 years after its
first outbreak anywhere in the world.
