Remaining on the field for the entire duration of the Nations League match that ended in a 1-1 draw against Serbia, Marko Arnautovic played well for his Austria, also contributing with an assist. However, the Inter striker experienced an unexpected panic attack during the match, triggered by strong pressure felt in the upper part of his chest.
Arnautovic, quoted by Sportmediaset, admitted feeling frightened until the medical staff of the Austrian National team intervened: I felt huge pressure in the upper part of the abdomen, and at the same moment, I had a panic attack. I don’t know why it happened. The doctor checked me, gave me some medication, everything returned to normal, and I was able to continue.
