According to Win Sports+reports live, journalist Carlos Antonio Veles revealed that the first electrocardiogram made to Roman came out “clean”, bringing a first relief to both the club and the fans.
The concern, of course, was not unjustified. Roman had passed a serious cardiac “shock” in 2021, when he had been one step before his transfer to Boca Juniors. There, he had been rejected by suspicion of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which then endangered his career.

Roman is closely monitored and new tests are expected to fully ensure his health.
