In a pizza oven?
Yes, let's hope it doesn't have the same problem with puffy balls.
I've just done a quick read about it. It doesn't sound career-threatening. He just has to take his time building back up. And his stance on vaccines seemed reasonable, though there was a rush to paint him as an anti-vaxxer. He was just a bit nervous about long term effects, while also said there was a good chance he would get vaccinated. He said everyone should make their own decision. Again, not unreasonable.
Let’s hope he avoids any long-term damage. People who go through symptomatic COVID, as he has, have a specific pattern of damage to the lungs and even a 2% lung capacity decrease can be very problematic for a professional athlete. People who put unfounded fears over the vaccine side-effects into his young head may have fucked-up his career, although the final responsibility is of course with him.

What about virtue-signalled fears? I don't often know absolutely nothing about the science and duly allow myself to get absolutely clowned by a bunch of headwand waving politicians and fact-checkers, but when I do it hurts my feels a lot, and so a good coping strategy is to furiously virtue signal about the unspeakable horrors of a footballer missing a couple of months of the season.
It shows why people should get vaccinated though.
I used to think and still think that our Keita is a cardiac disease risk...with his history of blacking out during games.
That's his natural skin tone
Let's just take this step by step, and with small words so you understand.
1. Rosco says - the vaccines are probably causing heart issues for athletes.
2. Hansern says this is rubbish.
3. Hansern posts an article that confirms the vaccines cause heart problems.
4. Hansern thinks he's clever but has entirely missed the point.
