Rowey said during his Rowey’s Sports Show on Friday:

“A Crows top-up player two weeks ago got his first COVID jab… he presented symptoms to the club doctor who acted immediately and sent him to the RAH… after testing he was diagnosed with pericarditis… it’s the swelling of the outer tissue of the heart, it’s scary…

“He spent a day in hospital… his cardiologist has said for three months no exercise and he’s on medication.

“Our understanding after a number of phone calls today – his prognosis is very good. He’ll make a full recovery and I say thank God.”
