Michael Matthews has been forced to immediately pause all physical activity until further notice after his Jayco-AlUla medical team discovered signs of a pulmonary embolism during a recent altitude training camp.
"Matthews’ health condition is stable. The Medical Team are now thoroughly investigating the extent of the issue and possible cause, to define a safe and optimal recovery process for the athlete," Jayco-AlUla said in a statement.
"During this period of investigation, as a safeguarding measure, Matthews will refrain from competition to ensure there is no risk to his health and well-being, therefore ruling out his participation in the upcoming Tour de France."
