He had an episode against Leipzig last Saturday in a pre-season friendly, leaving the pitch 17 minutes after coming on.

Three days later against Heidenheim, the attacking midfielder lasted only 8 minutes.

On the pitch he suddenly lost balance, staggered, and Ismaël Saïbari quickly held him to help him lie down.
