- Former England No 9 treated for irregular heartbeat
- Youngs, 34, hopes to return for Tigers in September
England’s most-capped player, Ben Youngs, has revealed he had heart surgery after collapsing during an open training session. The Leicester scrum-half says he is “on the mend” and hopes to be fit for the new season that begins in September.
Youngs was diagnosed with arrhythmia and supraventricular tachycardia, which is a type of irregular heartbeat that causes the heart’s upper chamber to beat fast or erratically. The 34-year-old had a two-hour operation in Birmingham following the episode while training with Leicester this year.
