Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio will watch Saturday's game against No. 11 Wisconsin from the hospital rather than the coaches' booth at Spartan Stadium after a blood clot was discovered in his leg.
Dantonio, who suffered a mild heart attack Sept. 19 and underwent surgery, had been planning to watch the game from the booth after returning to work Sunday.
But doctors discovered the blood clot during a routine post-operative examination and Dantonio was readmitted Thursday to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Mich.
The 54-year-old Dantonio watched last week's game against Northern Colorado from home, as offensive coordinator Don Treadwell coached the No. 24 Spartans.
Dantonio attended his weekly news conference Tuesday and said that he'll be easing back into his routine but would follow doctor's orders.
"Coach Dantonio is doing well and his prognosis is excellent," Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said in a statement. "He was admitted to Sparrow Hospital for monitoring and treatment. The cardiologist told Coach D that it was in his best interest to sit out another game and to stay off his feet.
"Although Coach D will be unable to watch today's game from the press box, make no mistake that he remains in control of our football program. He was able to attend meetings and practices earlier this week, and since his hospitalization, he has been in regular contact with his coaching staff as well as the team captains and other team leaders."
Dantonio's release date from the hospital has not been determined.
"Blood clots are not uncommon following a number of surgical procedures and can occur after a cardiac catheterization procedure," said Dr. Chris D'Haem, Dantonio's cardiologist. "The clot can block blood flow and cause swelling and pain."
