Wojciech Szczesny has admitted that he feared for his life after suffering an undiagnosed heart scare during a match for Juventus last season.
The former Arsenal goalkeeper complained of heart palpitations just before the half-time break of April's Europa League quarter-final first leg at home to Sporting Lisbon. Szczesny, 33, feared that his heart was about to "explode" and had to be substituted off, with fans at the Allianz Stadium in Turin oblivious as to what the Poland international was going through.
After promptly completing an electrocardiogram (ECG), Szczesny's heart thankfully showed no irregularity and he was given the green light to continue playing in subsequent fixtures. But that doesn't take away the terrifying memory for the 33-year-old, who recently opened up on the yet-to-be-explained incident during an interview with Canal Plus Polonia.
