Wojciech Szczęsny was forced to leave the pitch during Juventus’ Europa League clash on Thursday night.
The Polish goalkeeper was visually uncomfortable on the pitch and apparently had problems with his breathing leaving him to be subbed off just before half-time.
Szczesny was reduced to tears as he talked to the Juventus medical staff on his way off the pitch and looked very upset.
