The 29-year-old has been fitted with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, the club confirmed on Saturday. “The most important thing is that I’m feeling good at the moment and trying to come back as soon as possible,” Blind said in a video posted on Twitter. Blind, who was a regular starter in Ajax’s incredible run to the Champions League semi-finals last season, will miss the club’s January training camp in Qatar, and will continue his recovery in Amsterdam.
