Carlos Tevez Hospitalized After Chest Pains
Former Argentinian football star Carlos Tevez was admitted to a hospital in Buenos Aires after experiencing chest pains. The 40-year-old manager of Independiente spent the night at a clinic in San Isidro and is due to undergo further tests today.
Initial Tests Satisfactory
Tevez’s club, Independiente, confirmed his hospitalization and revealed that initial tests came back “satisfactory.” The club initially denied reports of Tevez’s hospitalization but later issued a statement acknowledging the situation.
“Our coach, Carlos Tevez, went to the La Trinidad Hospital in San Isidro with chest pain,” Independiente’s statement said. “They carried out the corresponding tests and they were satisfactory. Today he will continue with a series of tests scheduled in advance as part of a general check-up.”
Possible Stress-Related Issues
Local media outlets have suggested that Tevez’s chest pains could be stress-related. However, no official comment has been made by Tevez himself.
Further Tests and Hospital Stay
Tevez will remain hospitalized for the time being while doctors conduct additional tests. It is unclear whether he will be able to attend a scheduled training session with Independiente later today. The follow-up tests are expected to take place at the Finochietto Hospital in Buenos Aires.
Tevez is known to manage high blood pressure and undergoes regular medical checkups.
This hospitalization comes after a previous health scare for Tevez last year when he was rushed to the hospital following a domestic accident.
A Decorated Playing Career
Tevez is a renowned footballer who played for both Manchester United and Manchester City, a feat achieved by only a select few players. He enjoyed a successful playing career, winning the Premier League title with both Manchester clubs. His teammate Wayne Rooney even named Tevez as the most enjoyable footballer he ever played alongside.
