Barcelona defender Joao Cancelo reportedly missed Sunday’s win over Atletico Madrid on medical advice and is being checked for a heart condition.
The Catalans said Cancelo was missing from the squad due to a “knock” but Fermin Lopez hinted it was something else when he dedicated the win to his team-mate afterwards.
RAC1 have now offered an update on Cancelo and say he missed the game on medical advice as a “precaution.” The report adds that one of Cancelo’s relatives “has a heart problem and the club’s medical services want to rule out that it is hereditary.
