A Leeds friend reminded me of Asa Hartford, recently, when asking me how Connor was getting on. The older ones on here, may remember he failed a medical at Leeds, and so had his contract cancelled, due to a heart defect, but went on to have a good career.
Without knowing what the condition is, it's hard to say. The club have officially said the operation is only a preventative measure, so we have to take them at their word.
Funnily enough, it is was a more dangerous condition, he would've had the operation immediately.
No. He was sent on holiday to get some rest and sunshine before the op. The operation itself is a preventative measure, so it seems once is it is done, he should be able to resume his career...
