I was scared - Juventus keeper Szczesny offers update after heart concern

Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny says he's fine after being substituted complaining of heart issues in their victory over Europa League opponents Sporting CP.

The Pole admits he was struggling to breathe after colliding with a post.

“I am fine, I was a little anxious, but we did all the tests and everything is fine," Szczesny told Sky Italia.

Szczesny was seen in tears as he was taken off before halftime.

“I was scared, it had never happened to me before, I was struggling to breathe and it really worried me."
