After performing cardiac catheterization, the coach spent the night at the hospital under observation. Even though there is no danger to his life, Laso is set for a lengthy come back to everyday life.

Marca reported that numerous tests will be done to find out the root cause of the event and the extent of the illness. Following the news, Laso's return to the club this season is highly unlikely, if not impossible.

"There is only one game in our heads, which is tomorrow, and we are going to try to do the best we can," Mateo said in a pre-game conference on Monday.
