Iker Casillas' wife is hopeful the Porto goalkeeper will be discharged from hospital on Monday.

Casillas was hospitalised on Wednesday after being taken ill during a training session, and it was later confirmed that the former Real Madrid stalwart had suffered a myocardial infarction.

The 37-year-old took to social media to confirm that he was in a stable condition, tweeting: "Everything under control, a big fright but strong as ever."

And Casillas' wife Sara Carbonero told AS: "Iker is calm, it's very good.

"We have to stay a few more days in the hospital, maybe he will be discharged on Monday and we can go home."
