Following the statement made by Petrov that football is over
and this is the end. There have been reports that he has retired from the game.
In his speech to Bulgarian sports daily Tema Sport on
saturday, Petrov said; “Football is over, this is the end. I am now beginning
to fight for my life and I will fight.
“I lost my energy early in the second half (at arsenal) and
it was very unusual for me.
“But this is life, you see we drank a coffee in London a
week ago and now we are talking about things like this.”
“I’ll fight, it’s clear and also would like to thank
everyone for the support from all around the world.”
But his
representative Stephen Hughes has moved to clear up the situation saying that
his client has no intentions to quit playing.
“What he did say was that he was fighting for his life and
that he will fight to recover.”
The condition was diagnosed following tests after the
midfielder developed a fever. Petrov has been regular for his team this season
and has scored 4 goals this season.
Petrov was a spectator for Villa’s match against Chelsea at
Villa Park as they were defeated by four goals to two.
Petrov is set to begin treatment on his condition at a
London specialist hospital on Monday.
