Ghanaian striker Raphael Dwamena has said he wants to continue playing professional football despite his latest cardiac scare.
Dwamena last month collapsed during the first half of Blau-Weiß Linz's match against Harterg in the Austrian Cup.
It was the third time Dwamena's career had to take a hit by his heart condition.

However, the striker is refusing to call time on his career. According to him, fans would see him in action soon if he is given the green light to return to the field.
“I received an electric shock from the defibrillator. It hurts and knocks you off your feet. But I didn’t collapse,” the forward said in an interview, according to Ghanasoccernet.
“I want to have another check done in the next few days or weeks. If everything is okay, I’ll be back on the pitch and play. I’ve always played without any problems.”
Dwamena is however aware the decision to continue playing will not be solely his choice as the doctors will have to give him the green light to do so.
“Now there has just been an incident. But I can’t do it myself decide,” he added.
Following the incident two weeks ago, doctors said Dwamena was never in acute danger to life due to the defibrillator.
Dwamena has made just three appearances for the club this season, after joining as a free agent in the summer.
