Former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has spoken about the chest pain he suffered last season. During Juventus’ quarterfinal UEFA Europa League match against Sporting CP last year, the Poland international experienced chest issues.
The Poland No.1 was then substituted at half-time.
The goalkeeper told Canal+ Polonia that he thought he was going to die.
“It was scary. I really thought I was going to die,” Szczesny said.
“After passing a ball to the defender, I felt like my heart was about to explode.
“During a corner kick, I told Arek (Arkadiusz Milik), I was hurt, but the Sporting players were already taking a corner kick.”
“The chest pain was horrible. To this day, we don’t know the reason.
“Probably back or spine problems,” he added.
