It wouldnt be a trick for the club to downgrade his contract or offload him if he cant though. If performance is impacted by an illness and isnt repairable any company can dismiss the individual and FC have the right to do what they want. He will have had his testimonial this year and the club is bigger than carrying one player should it come to that.
Think they'd have to demonstrate that he could no longer fulfil the job requirements, ie his not being able to train and play, both of which he is doing atm. A bit of poor form isn't going to wash.
Would also damage recruitment - would you sign for a club that tore up contracts that easily?
