Former professional soccer player Toni Polster is in intensive care after suffering a perforated stomach. He underwent “immediate and successful surgery.”
The Austrian football legend Toni Polster (59) suffered a perforated stomach and had to undergo surgery. Corresponding previous media reports have now been confirmed both by his club SC Wiener Viktoria and on his homepage.
“Toni underwent immediate and successful surgery on Thursday following a perforated stomach,” in a short statement. The trainer is therefore “currently still in the intensive care unit for observation”. However, the condition of the former professional footballer is “good to very good given the circumstances”. More detailed information will follow on the page at a later date.
His club wishes him a “get well soon”
SC Wiener Viktoria also speaks out and says “get well soon”. The attached comment says: “As was reported by the media yesterday, our trainer suffered a perforated stomach on Thursday and was immediately operated on successfully!”
We now ask for “forbearance and peace for the family” and wish “our friend only the very best”. Polster’s “Viktoria family” is thinking of him and sending him lots of strength. Fans should also be informed about news here as soon as it becomes available.
During his active career, Polster also played in Germany – at 1. FC Köln and Borussia Mönchengladbach. He is also the record goalscorer for the Austrian national football team with 44 goals.
