Career threatened by tick-borne infection
Fesiun's career is under threat after suffering heart complications caused by a tick borne infection, with no timeline yet available for his recovery, according to Malyugin Nikita of Sport RBC.
ANALYSIS
Fesiun was bitten by a tick several months ago that went undetected, leading to a deep infection and acute inflammation that most severely affected his cardiovascular system and heart. He had already missed all of Shakhtar's preseason friendlies during the club's training camp in Slovenia due to the illness, and made eight official appearances last season with four clean sheets since joining from Kolos Kovalivka in 2024, with doctors now focused not only on saving his career but on his overall recovery to a full and normal life.
