Porto and Spanish goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, has Monday been discharged from the hospital and has made it known that his football career is uncertain.
Casillas was spotted leaving the Portuguese hospital on Monday with his wife five days after suffering a heart attack he had during training with his club.
The 37-year-old, according to the Portuguese club, said it was an acute myocardial infarction.
Telling reporters outside the hospital, he said:
“I feel much better. It will be rest for a couple of weeks, or even a couple of months.
“The truth is that I don’t care.
“The important thing is to be here… I don’t know what the future may bring.”
Casillas has 167 Spain caps, winning the 2010 World Cup and two European Championships, and also played over 700 games for Real Madrid.
“The truth is, it’s something that can happen to anyone and at any moment.
“It’s hard to talk about, but you also have to be very grateful because I’ve been very lucky.
Portuguese media reported Casillas had undergone surgery and that his season was over.
Porto are second in the Portuguese league, just two points behind leaders Benfica with two games to play, and face Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Cup final on May 25.
