Guerrero’s career grounded over flying phobia
Hamburg’s Peruvian international striker Paolo Guerrero is being
treated here for his phobia of flying by a psychologist from the
Bundesliga club after he fled from an aircraft on four different
occasions in January.
The 26-year-old had been recuperating in Peru since undergoing an
operation on cruciate ligaments last September but was unable to stay on
the flights back to Germany even though he was accompanied by members of
his family, who had tranquilisers at the ready to supply him with should
the need arise.
Guerrero, who had started the Bundesliga season in tearing form
scoring four times in four matches, has not commented on his condition
but those close to him have told the local press that he recently
developed his fear of flying. LIMA, Wednesday AFP |
