Willem II player Mickaël Tirpan has forced to put an end to his career. The 31-year-old defender suffers from sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation in organs and tissues.
Tirpan missed a few duels from Willem II in April of last season due to fatigue complaints. Shortly thereafter he was diagnosed with sarcoidosis. He then came into action for the club that relegated from the Eredivisie last season.
Willem II writes on its own website that Tirpan has tried to combine his medical situation with football in recent months. “In the end it turned out that it was no longer feasible,” writes Willem II.
Tirpan speaks of a “difficult but correct decision”. “Everyone knows that I have done everything to be able to do top sport, despite my medical situation. With peaks and troughs, this has also succeeded, thanks in part to the support of medical specialists. But my body indicates that it is time.”
Tirpan made the switch from Lierse SK to Willem II in the summer of last year. The Belgian, who previously played for Fortuna Sittard, came to 28 games for the Tilburgers.
