Former Inter goalkeeper Sebastien Frey has taken to social media to reveal that he could have died after contracting a virus and that he is now on the road to recovery.

“As you may have noticed, I’ve been absent from social media for a while… for a more than valid reason, and I want to explain it to you.

“Three weeks ago, I was rushed to the hospital because I had a fever of 40, which didn’t come down…

“After several tests, they found a virus that, little by little, disabled me completely, and it could’ve taken me away from all of you…

“Luck has it that I’ve passed this test. Now I’ve started a new challenge, to start walking again like I always have, to walk again like I always have and to work so I can hold my baby again…

“I’ve always played to win and now, with determination and strength, I’ll win this battle too! Hugs to you all!”
