Dundee Utd Concern Over Health Of Buaben

Dundee United midfielder Prince Buaben is causing concern over an illness which is affecting his performances. It had been feared the 21-year-old contracted malaria while on holiday in Ghana over the summer, although tests have now ruled out that possibility. Boss Craig Levein is keen to establish the cause of the illness sooner rather than later. "Prince has been suffering from a virus and we need to get to the bottom of in," explained Levein. "He's had hit blood taken and nothing major seems to be showing up. He was in Ghana over the summer, so we were a bit worried it might have been malaria or something. "But he's been checked out and thankfully it's not that. It's a worry, but we'll just have to see how he is this week."
