Actually, there have been several cases of African footballers in England coming down with malaria and missing out on a few games. It’s really not reason for the hysteria cooked up by the British media (they’re worse than the US media when it comes to hysterical takes on minor issues). I studied and worked in Africa for years and saw many people come down with different strains of malaria — there are different levels of severity. But I saw people get over it quickly after immediate and comprehensive treatment. Kolo will miss out on maybe 2-4 games, I’m not worried.
