In 2023, doctors told Georgi Minoungou was told he would never play football again. He was left blind in his left eye following a series of unexpected events while at Czech minnows MFK Vyskov. For many, such a severe setback would be life-changing, let alone spelling the end of a footballer's career 💔

But in just two short years, Minoungou left MFK Vyskov for Seattle Sounders, battled his way into the first team, and tonight he will share a pitch with the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Vitinha, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as Sounders take on European champions PSG at the FIFA Club World Cup! 🤩

Such an inspiration! 💪

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

is a blood test used to check for inflammation in the body. It measures how fast red blood cells (erythrocytes) settle at the bottom of a test tube over one hour. Normally, red blood cells settle slowly. But when there’s inflammation, they stick together and fall faster, which raises the ESR value. A high ESR can indicate infections, autoimmune diseases, or chronic illnesses like arthritis. However, ESR is not specific—it doesn’t tell exactly what the problem is, only that something may be wrong. Doctors use ESR along with other tests and symptoms to make a diagnosis. The test is simple, low-cost, and useful for monitoring how a disease is improving or getting worse.

Packed Cell Volume (PCV)

also called hematocrit, is a medical test used to measure the percentage of red blood cells (RBCs) in a person’s blood. Blood contains red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma. PCV helps doctors know how much of the blood is made up of red cells, which carry oxygen. To check PCV, a blood sample is collected and spun very fast in a special machine called a centrifuge. This makes the red cells settle at the bottom of the tube. The result is shown as a percentage. For example, a PCV of 45% means that 45% of the blood is red cells. Low PCV may suggest anemia, while high PCV might mean dehydration or other health issues. PCV is a simple but important test that helps doctors understand a patient’s oxygen-carrying capacity and general health.
