Wojciech Szczesny leaves pitch in tears with 'heart palpitations'

Wojciech Szczesny was forced to leave Juventus' home clash with Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League in the 44th minute.

The former Arsenal goalkeeper made two brilliant saves in the first half but was spotted in discomfort before half-time.

Goal Italia reports he brought his hand to his chest and was surrounded by concerned teammates.

Medics came onto the field to provide aid to a tearful Szczesny, who had to leave the pitch.

An ECG after the game revealed his heart is fine but he will be assessed further to rule out any complications.

The report adds he suffered 'heart palpitations' during the game but the goalkeeper himself assured fans he was fine.

After the game, Szczesny said: "We did medical check, it’s all good.

"I was worried, I was not able to breathe but now I feel good. The tests confirmed that there’s no problem."
