Fulham star and Liverpool transfer target Antonee Robinson has shared his harrowing experience of nearly facing heart failure.
Fulham's Robinson, who is currently enjoying an excellent season with 10 assists to his name, has been turning heads with his performances after catching the eye of Liverpool boss Arne Slot.
We're going to give you an ECG to take away for three days and we'll monitor your heartbeat'." After being monitored for 72 hours with a normal heart rate, doctors were stumped until Robinson divulged the key change in his habits.
He said: "They were just like: 'What have you done differently.
' I said I'd been off caffeine for however long and they said: 'Yep, just don't have any of that then'."
According to the NHS, caffeine is known to possibly trigger abnormal heart rhythms in some people.
Reflecting further on his own experience, Robinson added: "It is scary thinking that if I didn't have that medical, I would have just carried on with my lifestyle and I was approaching heart failure.
"I didn't even drink much coffee, but when I was at Wigan, we had a car school where we all met at Starbucks.
That was enough for me to have an abnormality."
Following the detection of his heart issue, Robinson ultimately made the move from Wigan to Fulham in August 2020 for £2million.
