Michel Platini has been rushed to the hospital in South Africa after a suspected heart attack forced him to keel over while having dinner with guests including Gerard Houllier and Andy Roxborough.
According to reports from The Guardian, Platini was understood to be conscious.
Platini last suffered a heart problem in 2001, which kept him out of the game for six months.
UPDATE: Reuters is reporting that Platini’s aide has ruled out a heart attack and is blaming Platini’s collapse to low blood sugar.
WIkipedia says he died.
Reuters is reporting named sources who say that he’s fine and recovering well, and that it wasn’t a heart attack.
Cheers,
The Gaffer
