Lisbon: Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas remains stable after his heart attack on Wednesday, but it is unclear whether he will be able to play soccer again.
Casillas, who turns 38 this month, is regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers Real Madrid has ever had. He also helped the Spain squad win the World Cup in 2010 as well as the 2008 and 2012 European Championships. He joined FC Porto in July 2015.
His condition has been described as stable, and Casillas has posted images of himself in social media saying that “everything is under control.” His agent, Carlo Cutropía, said that the goalkeeper will spend three days in the hospital.
Other physicians are also being cautious, noting that the main goal was to save his life, which they did. As for going back to doing the same activity, there is a division of opinion.
