This seems to be something congenital, but footballers hearts are also different because of the physical work they do."[LNB]Minambres believes the deal will go through though, telling Marca: "Wigan want him to have other tests, but there is no problem. We carried out the appropriate analysis in pre-season and Diame is fine.[LNB]"We are here (in England) to close the operation and I don't think there will be any type of problem."[LNB]
