Kevin Danso declared fit to play again for Lens after identifying heart issue | OneFootball

Lens centre-back Kevin Danso (26) has been declared fit to play first-team football once again by medical staff, the club has confirmed. The Austrian international defender had been sidelined after doctors had identified a potential heart issue.

The 26-year-old was expected to be leaving the Stade Bollaert-Delelis during the summer transfer window. Danso had agreed personal terms with Roma and had begun to undergo medical tests before being announced as a new player of the Italian capital club. However, this is where the potential heart issue was identified. Roma medical staff determined that the former Southampton defender had failed his medical due to the complication and the potential move collapsed.

The positive news comes as a boost to Les Sang et Or, who have been without Danso whilst he has undergone additional tests for the potential problem. Following these tests, the Ligue 1 club have confirmed that the complication has been erased and the defender is once again fit to play.
