Socceroos great hospitalised following chest pains
Mark Bosnich had a health scare this week that landed him in hospital.
The former Socceroos and Manchester United goalkeeper was exercising at work when he began to experience chest pains.
Not wanting to risk it, the 52-year-old made the quick decision to get himself checked out at a hospital in Sydney.
The Aussie football great took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to update fans on his condition, straight from his hospital bed on Wednesday night.
“Will not be able to see you all tomorrow morning,” he wrote, along with the schedule of matches for the Champions League airing on the streaming platform Stan.
“But will be fine by Friday … but join us here in Oz from 6.35am (aedt).”

Bosnich was missing from Stan Sport’s Champions League coverage on Thursday and his on-air colleagues, Max Rushden and Craig Foster, explained what had happened.
“For those of you who don’t know, he (Bosnich) had chest pains, he’s had a stent put in,” Rushden said during coverage of one of the matches.
He was making a lot of noise … and he said ‘I’m going to get it checked out’.
“He did, he’s OK. He’s back tomorrow but we are sending you our love Boz, it is very quiet without you.”
Fellow Socceroo Foster added: “We miss you buddy. I hope you’re well and feeling OK.”
Bosnich's hospital admission didn't stop him from keeping up with the matches as he shared a photo of himself tuning in to Champions League on a tablet, and thanked everyone for their well-wishes.

During Thursday's game, Rushden was keen for anyone watching to heed the warning from Bosnich.
“If you’re not sure about anything, health-wise, get checked,” Rushden said.
“Men are useless at talking about it and doing anything about it.
“The sooner you find anything is wrong, the better it is. That is our message and that is Bozza’s message too.”
