New England Patriots star Christian Barmore has been diagnosed with blood clots after receiving treatment at a hospital in Massachusetts.
There is no timetable for Barmore’s return – just six weeks until the NFL season starts.
In a statement, the Patriots said: ‘Over the weekend, Christian Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots.
‘He was appropriately treated by the doctors at Mass General Brigham, who tested, evaluated and treated Christian. Our principal concern at this time is Christian’s health and wellbeing.
‘Fortunately, Mass General Brigham provides some of the best healthcare in the world. While there is no current timetable for his return, we know Christian is getting tremendous care and we look forward to his full recovery.’

Barmore’s agent – Nicole Lynn – also posted a statement that read: ‘I would be remiss if I did not thank the Patriots’ trainer, Jim Whalen, for his absolute diligence and care over the last couple of days.
‘Today could have looked a lot different without Jim’s persistent and expertise.’
It comes just five years after another Patriots player, David Andrews, missed the entire 2019 season after being diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs.
Andrews is still with the Patriots and is about to play his 10th season in New England.
Barmore was drafted by the Patriots in 2021 out of the University of Alabama. The 25-year-old signed a $92million four-year contract extension back in April.
