Footy legend Phil Gould has been taken to hospital and is battling some ‘significant health concerns’, according to reports.
Nine’s Danny Weidler announced during Tuesday’s Dally M awards that Gould, 67, had been in hospital since Monday and has ‘a big couple of days ahead’.
He also revealed that he had spoken to the Canterbury Bulldogs general manager to wish him a speedy recovery.
‘Nine league expert and Bulldogs boss Phil Gould has been in hospital since Monday and has some significant health concerns,’ Weidler wrote on X.
He added Gould is ‘facing a big couple of days.’
The Australian reports that the footy journalist and administrator is ‘awaiting test results relating to a heart condition’.
He was not present on Channel Nine’s 100% Footy show on Monday night.
However, the footy boss has been in good spirits and has stayed in contact with members of the Bulldogs hierarchy via email from his hospital bed.
Concerns were raised earlier this year for the former Canterbury and Penrith coach, after the footy icon published a photo on social media after undergoing eye surgery.
The 67-year-old wore a see-through eye-patch over his ‘new eye’, and took a shoort break from rugby league following the scheduled procedure.
He showed off his bandages on social media, adding a caption: ‘And there it is … A new eye.’
