Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny: Well, that was scary!

Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has revisited his heart scare in midweek.

The Pole was forced off during the Europa League win against Sporting CP complaining of poor breathing.

He has since posted social media: “Well, that was scary! Thank you all for your kind messages and wishes of recovery. I'm fine, hoping to be back on the pitch as soon as possible!

“Big thank you to the medical staff at Allianz Stadium for their support and Mattia Perin for being our hero on the day!! Fino alla fine."

Medical tests have since cleared Szczesny of any problems.
