the_engineer 1,415 Posted February 27, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39106689 Mario gotze has been ruled out 'for the time being' with metabolic disturbances . "He [Gotze] has continually suffered with muscular problems in the past few months, prompting a comprehensive internal investigation into the possible causes "Those investigations revealed the player has metabolic disturbances, rendering it absolutely necessary to withdraw him from team training for the time being." Could it be sign of something more serious ? Metabolic disturbances is usually associated with failing liver or pancreas. Its weird that he is been withdrawn with no timetable for return .
