He’s returned to great form recently which has reminded me.
I’m certainly not trying to make fun of his appearance (he’s in far, far, far better shape than me!), it’s just quite interesting in an elite athlete.
But he does seem to have quite a pronounced curve in his upper spine, which gives him a bit of a “hump” appearance.
Does anybody know if it’s been disclosed if he has a diagnosed condition such as kyphosis?
From what I’ve read the symptoms range from absolutely nothing at all with no treatment required, to severe pain with possible surgical or therapy-based treatment.
It’d be quite amazing if he does have symptoms and yet is still able to compete and produce such brilliant footy.
The other thing… he’s already 195cm with incredible agility for his size. A genuine condition could have robbed him of 5cm and even a bit more… that is a scary prospect at 200+ cm!
Just curious.
