Nnamdi Ofoborh: Steven Gerrard reveals Rangers midfielder may have heart condition – The Athletic

What has been said?

Unfortunately something has flagged up with his ECG, which is the heart test, Gerrard told Sky Sports.

Weve got top medical people here at the club now and we check all the players thoroughly from head to toe when they arrive.

Unfortunately there's been a bit of a red flag with a heart issue so he's going to see some specialists in the coming weeks and we need to do more tests before we move forward.

Ofoborh will undergo further tests but Gerrard is looking to provide emotional support to the player given then nature of the setback.

The important thing is the players health, which well obviously focus on first and foremost.

Of course it is disappointing and frustrating for the player but I spoke to him yesterday, told him to keep smiling and be patient and we will do everything we can to support him, get him in front of the right people and the right support and hopefully he will be back, not too long.

Rangers vice-captain Connor Goldson, who has played over 150 games for the club since joining in 2018, had to undergo heart surgery in 2017 after Brighton discovered he had an enlarged aorta valve during a routine cardiac screening.
