Overview
- Gago was admitted in the early hours of Friday, June 19, after chest discomfort after the match with O’Higgins evolved into an acute myocardial infarction.
- Doctors at Clínica Alemana performed an urgent angioplasty to restore coronary blood flow, with several reports noting placement of an intracoronary stent.
- The clinic and Universidad de Chile said he evolved favorably and he was discharged on June 22 to continue recovery at home with strict ambulatory cardiology follow-up.
- Coloccini served as interim coach and said Gago had felt chest pain before the match but stayed to lead the team; players and club issued public messages of support and displayed a banner at a later game.
- Medical teams will monitor his cardiac rehabilitation, medications, and recovery before any return to coaching, and the club has not set a date for his comeback.
