Real Madrid star Lucas Silva awaiting results of cardiac tests which may spell the end of his career
REAL MADRID star Lucas Silva is sweating on the results of a cardiac test which could mean the end of his professional career.
The Brazilian midfielder, 23, is not in training as a precautionary measure after problems were detected during a routine examination ahead of a proposed loan to Sporting Lisbon in July.

A heart anomaly was picked up in the tests and as a result Silva was advised not to play football until it had been fully investigated.
It’s been a turbulent time for the cultured midfielder since his 2014 switch from Cruzeiro.
