Romanian expert Mircea Lucescu's surgery will not take place due to the coach's physical condition.
Idman.Biz reports that journalist Emanuel Roşu announced this on the social media site X, citing hospital representatives.
According to the source, a comprehensive examination also revealed stroke and blood circulation problems affecting the lungs. According to the latest information from doctors, the planned ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) surgery will not take place because Lucescu's body is too weak to withstand such a complex procedure.
The expert was hospitalized after his condition worsened during the Romanian national team's training. He was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction, and his condition worsened on Sunday, April 5, and Lucescu was placed in an induced coma.
