Former Tottenham player could be forced to retire after suffering cardiac arrest

Nabil Bentaleb, a former Tottenham midfielder, may have to retire, according to RMC Sport, after being hospitalised earlier this month for a serious health issue.

Following the former Tottenham Hotspur midfield player’s hospitalisation on June 18, Lille revealed that the 29-year-old needed surgery because he had experienced a heart attack during a five-a-side game.

Bentaleb had surgery to install a pacemaker shortly after arriving at the hospital, and he should be released shortly.
