Football: victim of illness last month, Delort leaves Qatar and could retire

At 32 years old, Andy Delort will perhaps no longer return the field during a professional meeting. Umm-Salal, the Qatari club in which he played since last August, communicated this Monday about the Algerian striker. Arriving from Nantes, the latter will leave the Arabian Peninsula, after 20 matches and 13 goals scored.

“Thank you for everything you have done,” the club wrote on the social network X (formerly Twitter). We wish you the best. » Andy Delort even wore the captain’s armband within the Qatari team. But he has not played since January 6 and the final of the Qatar Stars Cup, a competition between the country’s first division teams.

That day, Andy Delort started his match perfectly, with a goal in the 6th minute against Al-Arabi. But the former OGC Nice scorer, who also played for Montpellier, collapsed around ten minutes later and was evacuated from the field. The Algerian had convulsed on the pitch, and his state of health was worrying. His team finally won the final (4-4, 3-1 on penalties), and he gave the news in the show “Rothen s’igne”.

” Everything is fine. I felt a little tired. We did the tests, it goes very well. » However, more than a month later, Andy Delort has not played again. Many questions now arise about the rest of his career. His departure from Umm-Salal obviously raises concerns about his health.
