Which Belgian professional footballer was reported to have been treated by Mariana Kovacevic, a Serbian traditional healer?

During the duration of the 2012 African Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea she used the horse placenta treatment to heal Ghana's Asamoah Gyan, who had been injured and was supposed to be off football for four weeks. She is reported to have nursed him back to health in four hours. She was also reportedly enlisted by the Serbia during the world of 2010 in south Africa. Other footballers who are reported to have been treated by Mariana include Pablo Zabaleta, Vincent Kompany, Nigel de Jong and Robin Van Persie of Manchester United.
