Blackburn Boss Sam Allardayce To Undergo Heart Surgery
Big Sam to have heart op
21-Nov-2009 5:01:47 PM
Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce is due to undergo heart surgery, his club has revealed.
Allardyce will not attend the Reebok Stadium clash between Blackburn and his old club after complaining of chest pains.
He has been diagnosed as having a narrowing artery and will need Coronary Angioplasty to repair it, Sky Sports reports.
"Sam is very disappointed, particularly at missing the Bolton fixture, but his well being is of prime consideration," said Rovers chairman John Williams.
"We all appreciate that Premier League football is a stressful business and prevention is always better than cure."
Allardyce is also expected to miss the matches against Fulham and Stoke, but is expected to return for Blackburn’s Carling Cup clash with Chelsea at the beginning of December.
Assistant manager Neil McDonald will take charge of the first team during Big Sam’s absence.
