Marseille has announced that forward Loic Remy has been cleared to play despite a heart complaint.
Marseille told a press conference on Tuesday that concerns about Remy’s health were removed after the player underwent additional tests that showed the heart abnormality would not hinder his football career.
The club’s doctor Christophe Baudot said that heart specialists concluded that Remy was fit for practicing sport at a high level.
The 23-year-old joined Marseille from Nice last Thursday for a reported €15 million but his debut was put on hold the following day after a medical examination revealed a heart abnormality.
