Former Bolton Wanderers and Croatia striker Ivan Klasnić has returned home after being hospitalized with a high fever, marking the latest update in his high-profile battle with long-term renal issues.
Former Premier League forward Ivan Klasnić has been discharged from the hospital after a recent health scare involving a viral infection.
The 46-year-old, who has undergone three kidney transplants, was admitted as a precaution after suffering from a high fever.
Klasnić confirmed his recovery to the German newspaper BILD, stating he has returned home to be with his family while his condition remains stable.
The Croatian international’s health struggles stem from undiagnosed kidney problems aggravated by painkillers earlier in his career.
Reflecting on his journey in a recent documentary, he noted: “I have to be grateful that I am still alive, even though I am ill.”
Despite these challenges, Klasnić remains a beloved figure at Bolton and Werder Bremen, recently receiving goal dedications from younger national team players.
