Doctors warn Casillas is unlikely to ever play professional football again

There had been hope that the iconic shot-stopper would return to action after his heart attack but experts have now claimed that chances are slim

Doctors have warned that Iker Casillas, who suffered a heart attack during training with Porto on Wednesday, might never play again due to the severity of the incident and the steps required to prevent another myocardial incident.

The 37-year-old goalkeeper was rushed to hospital following his collapse and was treated well enough in time to ensure he was out of danger, with the former Real Madrid man taking to social media to thank fans for their support.
