Wigan Athletic striker Charlie Wyke will not be available for selection for the immediate future.
The 28-year-old collapsed during training in the build up to Latics’ Sky Bet League One match at Cambridge United and, after receiving treatment from the Club’s medical staff, Charlie was taken to hospital where he continues to be monitored.
We are pleased to say Charlie is in a stable condition and is in communication with his family, hospital staff and the Club’s medical team.
Charlie will continue to be monitored closely by an independent medical consultant and the Club’s medical staff over the next few days.
Wigan Athletic Chief Executive, Mal Brannigan, said:
“First and foremost, the absolute priority for everyone associated with Wigan Athletic is Charlie’s health and wellbeing and providing support to him and his family.
“As a Club, we would like to place on record our sincere appreciation to all of the staff within the NHS who, within what we know are challenging times, were excellent in their response and subsequent care for Charlie, working together with our medical team.
“Clearly this news will cause alarm, though we would politely request that the privacy of Charlie and his family is respected. At the appropriate time, we will look to provide further updates to our supporters.”
With Charlie's approval, we can confirm that Charlie has not received a COVID-19 vaccination and Charlie's collapse was not related to any COVID-19 vaccination.
