He said: “I had these things called Ectopic heartbeats, which are inefficient heartbeats, and I had too much, too often. The cardiologist I had said at the time everywhere from three to five percent was a normal level, and mine was 15 percent.
“It was something that may not appear on an ECG if you do medically in a team in England, but when you go to Italy, they are really strict. I think a few players in the competition died of Cardiac arrests, so so They are very strict for heart conditions.
Robinson was confronted with another heavy setback when his ablation procedure, aimed at correcting wrong electric heart tissue, was postponed because of the COVID-Lockdown in March 2020. The operation was pushed back three months, during which time his then girlfriend suggested that he caffeine His eliminated diet to stabilize his heartbeat.
This advice turned out to be crucial after doctors had discovered something unexpected when he was finally operated on in June of the same year. ECG tests found no sign of the irregular heartbeats, in which doctors concluded that they could not perform the operation.
Remembering how he initially feared the worst, Robinson said: “I am waiting for the operation bed until my cardiologist arrives. I just think I packed it here and I never play football again.
“He comes in and goes:” No, it's good news. We're going to give you an ECG to take away three days and we will follow your heartbeat. ” After following 72 hours with a normal heartbeat, doctors were stunned until Robinson revealed the most important change in his customs.
He said, “They were just like,” What else did you do? ” I said I had it for as long from caffeine and they said, “Yes, I just don't have that.”
According to the NHS, it is known that caffeine may cause abnormal heart rhythms in some people. Robinson further reflected on his own experience: “It is scary to think that if I didn't have that medical, I would have just continued with my lifestyle and I approached heart failure.
“I didn't even drink much coffee, but when I was on Wigan, we had a car go where we all met at Starbucks. Then I had a caffeine recording for a match, what quite a few players were doing. That was enough for me to do to have a deviation “
After the detection of his heart issue, Robinson finally made the switch from Wigan to Fulham in August 2020 for £ 2 million.
Despite the setback of health, the competent full-back has seen his career flourish, with its current appreciation reportedly at no less than £ 40 million. Liverpool witnessed Robinson's Talents first -hand in December when Fulham dismissed Anfield.
The 27-year-old was the striking player for the visitors, with Liverpool now said he is keeping an eye on him. Robinson admitted in the same month that, although he likes to play in front of Marco Silva, he would be a movement if there was an offer with a big money.
He said to Marca: “I am very happy here. The fact that there is interest from other teams is great. It clearly comes down to the question of whether someone wants me to pay enough to pay what Fulham would ask. So if the club it I would leave as a good idea. “
Although there was no movement during the transfer window of January, Robinson is seen as a possible competition to replace Andy Robertson in Anfield. Robinson has done little to calm down about a switch from Fulham after he has responded positively to posts that link him to Liverpool on social media.
