“I’m fine. I’m a bit worried but I’ve done the tests and everything’s fine. I felt very scared, I’ve never had this feeling. I was short of breath but now I’m much better. The truth is I saw that Perrin is doing very well in training and managed to do this miracle at the last minute. I congratulated him, he is a precious boy, he never complains,” said Szczesny.

A little over a year ago Sergio Aguero had the same problem during Barcelona – Alaves and later he was diagnosed with heart condition that made him retire earlier than he’d planned.
