Nabil Bentaleb has been admitted to hospital due to an illness, his club Lille has confirmed.
The midfielder, formerly of Tottenham, made 34 appearances for the French club this season.
It's not clear what the nature of Bentaleb's illness is.
However, Lille revealed in a statement on Wednesday that he fell ill on Tuesday night and has now been hospitalised as a result.
"LOSC informs that Nabil Bentaleb suffered from illness on the evening of Tuesday June 18," they said.
"The player was immediately taken into care and sent to Lille University Hospital for hospitalisation.
"LOSC accompanies Nabil as closely as possible during this ordeal and gives him all its support. The club also calls for greater respect for the private life of its player."
His former club Tottenham also sent a message of support.
They wrote on X: "We’re sending you all our love and best wishes, Nabil. Everyone at the Club is with you."
Bentaleb has 43 caps for Algeria and used to be part of the youth setup at Lille before moving to the Spurs academy in 2012.
The 29-year-old made his senior debut for the north London side the following year as he progressed into the first-team.
He went on to feature 66 times for Spurs on total before signing for Schalke permanently in 2017 following a season-long loan.
Bentaleb scored 19 goals in 107 appearances for the German side and briefly returned to the Premier League with a short loan spell at Newcastle in 2020.
Two years later, he left Schalke and moved to Ligue 1 with Angers for one season before completing his switch to Lille last summer.
