- A rooster accessory has been marginalized with a mysterious disease
- Comes on the eve of his shock of the opening round against the Broncos
The Prop de la Salle Va'a de los Gallos has suffered a great health scare on the eve of the Sydney opening round of the 2025 NRL season after the 19 -year -old admitted to the hospital with a 'mysterious disease'.
According The Daily TelegraphThe 121 kg striker had been previously admitted to the hospital after “coughing blood.” It comes on the eve of the crash of the Ronda one of his team against Brisbane's Brincos on Thursday.
His manager, Trevor Conroy, said he had also returned to the hospital on Wednesday, after what had been a difficult period for his family.
He comes when his brother, Xavier, who also plays for the roosters, was admitted to the hospital after maintaining a cut in his arm that had been infected.
Conroy said that during his time at the hospital, De La Salle had been monitored by specialists, but medical professionals had some difficulties to diagnose the young striker.
Despite that, they now trust that it will recover completely, but it is understood that it could take between six and 12 months to return to the football field.
'He had massive temperatures and was emergency for 18 hours before they finally admit it.
'No one can find out what happens to him.
'From La Salle, the hip was hurt a few weeks ago and they think it could have been a bruise that was infected and went to its kidneys and lungs.
'I was coughing blood.
“De la Salle's mother is a doctor, so she asked to make CTS (scanning) of her lungs, they were worried about blood clotting.”
The huge front row striker, who measures 6 feet and 4 inches tall, made his NRL debut for the roosters last season and was hoping to appear in the first round of the 2025 campaign.
It is understood that the chief of the roosters, Trent Robinson, also visited the young support in the hospital.
“Trent Robinson (Gallos coach) went to the hospital to visit him, what he really appreciated,” he said.
It has been quite serious. They had a lung specialist at De La Salle, as well as a disease specialist.
'They have some theories, be it a bruise that was infected or he received a scratch or a wound that can have an important error.
'He will recover completely, but returned to the hospital (Wednesday morning) for some antibiotics.
'He is in the best care. I hoped to play the first round, but I could take six to 12 weeks before his body returned to normal to play.
