Ex-Argentina star Lavezzi in hospital with shoulder fracture

Former Argentina participant Ezequiel Lavezzi was hospitalised Wednesday in the beachfront Uruguayan metropolis of Punta del Este with a shoulder blade fracture.

A police report obtained by The Associated Press says the 38-year-old Lavezzi was discovered with the damage at 5 a.m. after he attended a celebration in his mansion.

Lavezzi, who performed for Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli, San Lorenzo and the Argentina nationwide workforce, was taken to the Sanatorio Cantegril hospital with his girlfriend, Natalia Borges.

“It is unknown how the injury came about,” the police report mentioned.

Police mentioned Lavezzi was at a celebration in his mansion in the area of José Ignacio, the place he has lived since 2019. Police investigator Paola Hernández mentioned witnesses might be interviewed all through the day.

“We don’t know what the root of this is,” Hernández informed Argentine TV channel TN.

Lavezzi retired in 2019 after a spell at Chinese membership Hebei Fortune. Since then, he has carried out charity work with the assistance of his brother.
