Everts back in Hospital

Belgian website nieuwsblad.be have reported that Stefan Everts is back in hospital after having problems with his feet. In our exclusive interview with Everts last month he mentioned how he is still having pain in his feet.

The  Belgian website said: Stefan Everts (46) was admitted to the University Hospital in Leuven on Thursday. The ten-time world motocross champion had a lot of pain in his right foot the last few days. After examination, it turned out that he had contracted an infection in one of the wounds on his foot. That infection must now be treated intravenously with antibiotics. It is certainly not a new outbreak of malaria, it sounds Friday in a press release.

"Of course this is a mental blow," Everts said. "Especially because we meticulously followed up and performed foot care. Well, yes, I knew that my recovery would be a long-term work, with an occasional obstacle. But I will also take this obstacle. "
