Jaysus i didn't mean it that way !

A condition like that could be a cause of chronic inflammation which in turn causes injuries.

Never mind Ross I believe it can be quite well controlled with diet - you'll have to cut the drink out quite significantly though [emoji48]
 
Mario Gotze 'metabolic disorder' news has hit German football like a freight train as nation reels from revelation on their World Cup hero's struggles

It is the news that sent shockwaves through German football. Mario Gotze, once the nation's golden boy, is to be sidelined indefinitely due to a 'metabolic disorder'.
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has endured a torrid few years since his World Cup winning goal in 2014. After Monday's shock announcement, the tragedy of Gotze seems to have reached a new nadir.
While the club have been deliberately vague about the details of Gotze's condition, it is clear that this is a serious setback for the midfielder's career, and a speedy return to fitness is not on the cards.

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Gotze is expected to be out for an extended period

Former Bayern Munich star Gotze has been sidelined indefinitely with a 'metabolic disorder'

'This is not going to be a short-term thing,' Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke told Bild on Monday evening, prompting speculation that Gotze would be ruled out until at least the end of the season.
According to reports, the 24-year-old is being treated by specialists, rather than the club's own medical department. He is not in hospital. 'I'm currently being treated, and I'm going to give everything to get back to training as quickly as possible and help the team to reach our goals,' announced Gotze himself on Monday.
The term 'metabolic disorder' could refer to any of a wide range of possible conditions. Many, though, are assuming the illness to be the root cause of Gotze's relentless fitness problems in recent years.

Since 2011, Gotze has missed a total of 39 games because of 10 different muscle injuries. He has also been criticised for his general fitness and weight as he has struggled to build on an explosive start to his career.
After failing to find a place for himself at Bayern Munich, the midfielder returned to Dortmund last summer, but his fortunes have not improved since.
With just two goals and two assists in 16 appearances, Gotze has once again found himself on the fringes of a team bursting with competition.

His performances and apparent lack of fitness have drawn harsh criticism from many quarters this season. In the wake of Monday's announcement, however, some now seem to regret the way they have talked about Gotze.
'The illness shows that Gotze has been unjustly treated,' wrote Der Westen, while Die Welt also admitted that Gotze's problems 'now have to be seen in a new light'.
Lothar Matthaus had been vocal in his criticism of Gotze just last week, saying the 24-year-old should move to China if he wasn't up to the challenge at Dortmund.
German legend Matthaus quickly backtracked, however, when Gotze's medical problems were announced on Monday.

'It's a big blow,' said Matthaus. 'The good thing is that now they have identified the cause, they can treat him. Obviously you have to judge his recent performances differently, knowing this.'
Aside from the well-wishers and repentant critics, there have also been some questions over why Gotze's employers were not able to identify the problem earlier.
'Professional footballers are always undergoing performance tests,' wrote Focus. 'Before every pre-season, they do lactate tests, and there are also blood tests every now and then. Were Gotze's problems kicked into the long grass?'

Gotze, an emotionally significant figure in German football, left Bayern Munich in the summer
Such questions are pure speculation, and yet they indicate the emotional significance of a Mario Gotze in German football.
This, after all, is the one-time wonderkid who fired Germany to World Cup glory in 2014. When told that their flawed hero is being ruled out indefinitely due to a serious condition, some will look around for someone to blame.
Despite all the criticism he has faced over the last few years, most people in German football has always been desperate for Gotze to live up to his potential. Monday's news hit them like a freight train.

Rough on the wee lad. But on the positive side they indentified the issue and can work on it. I wish a well reconvalence period for him!!
 
Bullet well and truly dodged. Would've been just our luck had we discovered that while he was with us.
