Cancelo Successfully Passes Medical Tests and Does not Suffer from a Heart Condition
João Cancelo was absent from Barcelona's resounding 3-0 victory over Atlético Madrid on medical advice, after a heart problem was detected in a direct relative that could be hereditary.
Barcelona's medical staff opted for caution and examined the player to prevent any issues that could affect the life of the Portuguese footballer and to "rule out that it is hereditary."
After the storm, Cancelo can feel relieved, as the tests he underwent confirmed that there is no heart problem in the player.
However, Fermín López, one of the heroes of the match, did not miss the opportunity and stated that they dedicated the victory to Cancelo, "who was going through a tough time."
