Present or past?

If I called my friend john yesterday and he told me that he is sick. Next day our friend sarah asked about him should I tell her "I called him yesterday and he told me he was sick" Or "I called him yesterday and he told me he is sick"

Should I use the present because it is a fact?

Note: He is still sick.

Please correct me if I made any grammatical mistake in my question.
