Soccer-Man City striker Bony confirms he had malaria

Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony, who has struggled for form and fitness since moving to the club in January, has confirmed he contracted malaria during the close season. Manager Manuel Pellegrini mentioned in a news conference this week that the striker had contracted malaria, though he now looks to be back to full fitness and scored twice in a 5-1 thrashing of Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday. Bony was quoted by British media as saying: “I got malaria from Africa when I was coming back but I am okay now.” The 26-year-old signed from Swansea City for about 30 million pounds ($46.32 million) at the start of the year.
