Echeverri is currently with the Argentina squad and played in a 5-0 win over Chile for the Under-23 side in an Olympic Games qualifier. After the victory, the 18-year-old, who has agreed to join <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-finally-sign-the-next-lionel-messi-claudio-echeverri-joins-in-gbp12-5m-deal-from-river-plate-teenage-forward-rest-of-2024-with-argentine-giants/bltdadf02d99c1d7608" target="_blank">Manchester City from River Plate</a>, revealed he suffered chest pains during the match and confirmed he will speak to the medical team and have the issue checked.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He told TyC Sports: “I had a very strong pain in my chest, I couldn't breathe well and I was very scared. Just in case, I'm going to talk to the doctors to see what it is because something like this had never happened to me and I felt very scared."

WHAT ECHEVERRI SAID

Echeverri received treatment on the pitch for several minutes in the first half of the match and was taken off on a stretcher. However, he did subsequently continue before being replaced in the 64th minute. Argentina's win means the team qualify for the second round with a match to spare as they bid to secure a place at the 2024 Paris Games.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The issue is clearly a cause for real concern for Echeverri and Argentina, with the youngster set to be checked out before being cleared to return to action. Echeverri is set to spend the rest of the year with River Plate and will then head to Premier League champions City in January 2025.
