Dr Prince Pamboe, a sports physician and CAF medical officer, has advised the managers of Ghanaian striker Raphael Dwamena to sit him down and have a discussion with him over his future due to his recurring heart problems.
Dwamena collapsed last Wednesday during an Austrian Cup third-round clash between Blau-Weiß Linz and Harterg.
The game was suspended after the striker went down in the first half.
Linz manager Stefan Reiter told the APA, “His defibrillator struck and the doctors were able to stabilise him quickly.
He added that “the good news is Raphael’s condition is stable.”
The rescue chain had “worked outstandingly. It didn’t take a second for the paramedics to get to him.”
The 26-year-old, in the past two seasons, has suffered a lot of setbacks in his career due to his recurring heart problems.

According to Dr Prince Pamboe, it’s high time his handlers advised him to quit football and seek medical help.
“It is time his manager sits with Raphael Dwamena and have a discussion with him. Whatever device was implanted in his heart either could have got worse or creating another problem; thus, there is the need to do a re-evaluation,” he told TV3 on Warm Up+.
The former Levante striker is currently in a stable condition after his recent relapse and has been discharged from the hospital.
In 2017, Dwamena failed to join Brighton in a transfer move due to his heart condition.
