Afraid for his life, Cassano returns to the field © EuroFootball.com

Attacker Antonio Cassano will soon return to the field, but admitted that he felt bad during a flight at the end of October and was afraid for his life.

The Italian national football player underwent a minor heart operation, but doctors allowed him to continue his professional career.

"I was really afraid of dying, and then I was considering the end of my career," Cassano assured. "But now I am ready to play and maybe I will do it this Saturday in the match against Fiorentina."

This season, the Italian managed to play 9 matches and score two goals.
