One of Lionel Messi's new teammates at Inter Miami has been hospitalised after a freak incident in which he was bitten by a spider during a trip to the zoo.
Goalkeeper Nick Marsman is set to line up alongside the Argentinian legend later this summer, with the 35-year-old having announced that he will join the Herons following the conclusion of his PSG contract. The former Feyenoord star spent three days in a hospital bed, however, following the bite which occurred while his family was visiting the attraction in Florida.
Marsman's wife, Nathalie Den Dekker took to Instagram where she posted a snap of the Dutchman in bed in hospital following the horrific bite. Making a tongue in cheek observation in the caption that accompanied the image, she acknowledged that the incident was one of the cons of living in a tropical climate.
