Riyad Mahrez's fans could have been worried, as a message was shared from his official Facebook account stating that the footballer decided to end his professional career.
However, many suspected that this was a programming error, and that is exactly what was confirmed.
Representatives from the Leicester team spread the news that the footballer is not ending his career. "It was not his shared post. We are currently working with Facebook to have the post removed," said a team representative.
From R. Mahrez's profile, the following message was shared:
"After consultations with many doctors, I have decided to step away from football.
While taking this opportunity, I wanted to say a few words and thank everyone for the kindness and support shown in this great city. You will always remain in my heart."
