      Bukayo Saka feared he wouldn’t be the same player after Arsenal injury hell as kind gesture to hospital staff revealed

      by

      BUKAYO SAKA lay in his hospital bed on Christmas Eve, doubting whether he would be as good a player in the future as he had been in the past.But thanks to a self-help book and the mindful joy of a new puppy, the England and Arsenal star has returned from hamstring surgery focused only on the present.Buyako Saka was ‘worried’ about his future after having surgery just before ChristmasSaka tore his hamstring against Crystal Palace in DecemberAnd it is that perspective that can help put a frustrating campaign —  that began with a Euros final loss for England and ended trophyless for his club — behind him.Saka, 23, said: “I was not happy with last season — how it went and how it ended.“But the only thing I can do now is look forward and try to be the best version of myself and help my team-mates be the same.”The Londoner went under the knife on December 24 after sustaining the injury three days prior in a 5-1 win at Crystal Palace.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSIn typical, kind fashion, he opted to do the procedure 24 hours before Christmas so the surgeons could be with their nearest and dearest the following day.He made it home to spend Christmas with his loved ones but what followed was nearly four months out which he used for  self-reflection.The Gunners talisman said: “I had gone from five years straight playing football, either involved with the team every single day training or playing games. Everything stops.“You are on crutches, in hospital and need help around the house for the first few weeks.Most read in FootballJoin SUN CLUB for the Chelsea Files every Tuesday plusin-depth coverage and exclusives from Stamford Bridge“I got to spend more time with my family and got to do little things around the house that I wouldn’t have even paid attention to when I was playing.“On that note it was nice and I’ve come back with a bit more of a balanced head about football and life, and I’m trying to balance them better. It definitely helped me mentally.Arsenal star Bukayo Saka’s glam girlfriend Tolami Benson steals the show in daring outfit at The Fashion AwardsSaka returned in March and played a starring role in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Real Madrid“The first two days were the toughest, that realisation that I’ve got what I’ve got and I need an operation.“You start to think, ‘Am I going to be the same?’ as players came back from this injury and weren’t the same.“After two days my surgery was done, and successful, and you just look forward. I was really positive and put in all the work I needed with my diet, in the gym, on the pitch and the physios would say the same. I feel I’ve come back in a good place.”Saka is a keen reader of non-fiction and was inspired by a recommendation from Arsenal assistant coach Carlos Cuesta during his time sidelined.It is called The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and its message struck a chord with the talented winger.He added: “It’s a really good book. It’s about not thinking about the past, not thinking about the future, just being in the moment.You start to think, ‘Am I going to be the same?’Saka“Sometimes I can think, ‘Oh, am I going to come back in the best shape?’ Or, in the past, ‘What could I have done to prevent injury?’“But all that is not necessary. It’s only going to bring bad energy, negativity to your body.“One of the best things I took from the book is always ask yourself, what’s necessary in this moment right now and try to live that way.”Saka spent Christmas Day in a brace and on crutches at his cousin’s, having had surgery at 5am the previous day.He claimed it took him “ten minutes” to get to the dining room for dinner.So when his lively new Cockapoo called Tucker turned up soon after, it was not easy “to get after him”, as Saka put it, even if having the pooch has been a “good and funny experience”.On Tuesday against Senegal at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground, Saka hopes to ­feature for the first time under Thomas Tuchel, who he describes as “demanding and intense” on the grass but “relaxed and nice” off it.Former Chelsea and Bayern Munich chief Tuchel has been brought in with the sole remit of winning the World Cup next year after a series of near-misses under predecessor Gareth Southgate.The German has won all three of his games, without conceding a goal, but underwhelmed with performances,  especially in Saturday’s drab 1-0 victory over Andorra in Barcelona.And Saka admits England sometimes have a motivation issue against the smaller nations.Saka is eyeing his first England game under Thomas TuchelArsenal team-mate Myles Lewis-Skelly has been called up to England againBut the bottom line — and Saka knows this best after a tough 12 months — is that winning is what matters most.He added: “Every player is different and I can’t answer for every player but naturally in the bigger games everyone is going to give a bit more.“In these other games we need to find a level where we can maintain that same quality and drive and hunger for the whole game.“It’s not easy at times but we need  to find that and get these games over the line.Read More on The Sun“The Andorra game, we still won, got another three points on the board and kept a clean sheet. It’s job done.“The expectation is to win, rather than entertain. If you can have both, then  perfect. But we feel more the expectation is to win than to entertain.”Saka’s Premier League stats this season More

      Boy, 15, collapsed and died during football game at school just days after doctors wrongly diagnosed him with asthma

      by

      A TEENAGE boy who collapsed and died during a football game at school was wrongly diagnosed with asthma just days before, an inquest heard.Jake Lawler, 15, passed away after collapsing at Ashton on Mersey School in Sale, Trafford, on November 5 last year.Jake Lawler was misdiagnosed with asthma a month before his deathCredit: c-r-y.orgThe 15-year-old collapsed and died during a football gameCredit: FacebookThe court heard a month before his death he attended Wythenshawe Hospital complaining of shortness of breath while playing football.The inquest was told Jake, from Sale, had collapsed on the pitch on October 13, 2024.Alison Mutch, senior coroner for Manchester South, has now written in a Prevention of Future Death report.She warned how medical professionals incorrectly diagnosed the teenager with exercise induced asthma.According to the report, an “abnormal ECG” and an “exercise induced syncope episode”, were not recognised or followed up on.Medical history provided by Jake’s father was also “not assessed correctly”.The coroner concluded the abnormal ECG in combination with the teen’s collapse “should have resulted in him being referred for an inpatient paediatric review and further testing”.And, when Jake was discharged, his ECG results were wrongly recorded as coming back “normal”.Most read in FootballJake’s GP prescribed him medication for the misdiagnosed asthma, but it did not seem to have any effect on the youngster.A test for asthma was also conducted five days after Jake collapsed.But the nurse referred him back to a doctor as they did not think he suffered from the condition.The 15-year-old tragically died from a biventricular arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy just a month later. The coroner wrote in her report: “It is probable that he would not have died on the day he did had the correct actions been taken. “Jake’s collapse was incorrectly attributed to his exercise induced asthma.”In her report, four areas of concern were highlighted to help prevent future deaths.She stated Jake’s ECG results were “key warning signs” that shouldn’t have been missed, whether due to training or insufficient medical equipment. Another “red flag event” laid out was “no clear national guidance” on the route to take after a paediatric exercise induced syncope.The third point spotlighted covered asthma treatment prescribed by the GP, which failed to elevate Jake’s symptoms, and the asthma assessment. “Jake was assessed by his GP practice using the national asthma scoring system,” wrote the coroner.”However, the scoring system does not appear to facilitate scoring for exercise induced asthma. “In Jake’s case the readings and answers pointed to a well-controlled asthma. “This was at variance with the fact that his history indicated that he was continuing to struggle with his breathing when exercising and meant he did not trigger as a concern. “This was exacerbated by the normal peak flow readings taken at rest which gave a falsely reassuring picture.”The coroner added there was a “lack of curiosity” and a “lack of appreciation” regarding how limiting the assessment was.”In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths, and I believe you and/or your organisation have the power to take such action,” she continued.Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and GP Surgery have until July 4 later this year to respond to the report.Jake’s school said at the time of his tragic death: “Our school community was absolutely devastated by the loss of one of our much loved and precious students, Jake Lawler, who recently passed away in tragic circumstances.”As a school, we keep his family and friends in our thoughts and continue to support our students and staff during this incredibly difficult time.Read More on The Sun”We would also like to take this opportunity to share a link to Jake’s memorial fund, set up by his family to raise awareness of a very worthy cause – CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young).”The money will go towards raising awareness of young sudden cardiac death as well as supporting the families affected, supporting their screening programme and funding research and pathology.”What is biventricular arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathyACM is a condition where the cells in your heart muscle don’t stick together properly. The walls of your heart can become weak and blood may not be pumped as well as it should.Your heart has four chambers. The top two are called the atria and the bottom two are called the ventricles. ACM can affect one or both of your ventricle chambers. Jake suffered from biventricular arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, meaning it affected both.ACM is usually a genetic condition which means if one of your parents have it, you have a 50/50 chance of inheriting the faulty gene that could cause ACM.ACM symptoms palpitations (a pounding or fluttering feeling in your chest or neck)feeling lightheadedfaintingfeeling breathless or shortness of breathabnormal heart rhythms (when your heart beats too fast, too slow or irregularly)swollen ankles, legs or tummy areafeeling pain or discomfort in your chest.How is ACM diagnosed?
