Girona head coach Michel hospitalised with ‘health issue'
Girona head coach Michel has been hospitalised due to a health issue. The Catalan club confirmed in a statement on Friday that the 49-year-old would not be involved in Saturday's La Liga match at home to Villarreal. 'He is under medical observation as a precaution and is progressing favorably,' Girona said. 'He is receiving appropriate care, and we hope for his recovery in the coming days.' Michel also posted on Friday morning to thank the doctors for their 'care and professionalism' and said that it was upon their advice that he was taking a 'few days off to recover'. Nos vemos pronto. ¡Amunt Girona! — Miguel Ángel Sánchez (@Michel8Sanchez) May 9, 2025 'I'm feeling well, under medical observation, and I'm already counting the days until I can return to work and continue fighting for the remainder of the season,' said Michel, who added he would be in contact with his coaching team over the coming days. Michel, who previously coached Rayo Vallecano and Huesca, led Girona to La Liga promotion in 2022 and two years later oversaw their first-ever qualification for European football as they reached the Champions League with a top-four finish. This season has been more challenging for Girona, who are 15th in La Liga — six points above the relegation zone with four matches remaining. They finished 33rd of 36 teams in the Champions League league phase, winning only one of their eight fixtures.

One year later, Chicago police honor Officer Luis Huesca at memorial roll call
The Brief Officer Luis Huesca was honored Monday, one year after he was killed outside his Gage Park home. Family, colleagues, and city leaders gathered for a memorial roll call and a remembrance Mass. Huesca, 33, was a six-year CPD veteran known for his selflessness and dedication. CHICAGO - One year after his tragic death, Officer Luis Huesca was remembered Monday by fellow officers, city leaders, and family members during a memorial ceremony at Gold Star Families and Memorial Park. What we know On April 21, 2024, Huesca was shot and killed during a carjacking outside his home in the Gage Park neighborhood. He was 33 years old and had served with the Chicago Police Department for six years. To mark the solemn anniversary, CPD held a memorial roll call in his honor. Police Superintendent Larry Snelling attended alongside other department leadership, as well as Huesca's mother and sister. During the ceremony, Huesca was remembered not only for his service but for his devotion to family and community. A devoted soccer fan and caretaker to his mother, Huesca had earned multiple departmental honors during his career, including the Superintendence Award of Valor, the police Blue Star Award, and nine honorable mentions. What they're saying Huesca's sister spoke at the event, offering an emotional reflection on the year since her brother's passing. "It's been one year since the violence. And the lack of accountability criminals face in our justice system took my brother away from us. One year since the call that shattered our lives and seared this unbearable pain into our souls. It's hard to reflect on that. And to think that it has been one year, yet it feels like yesterday," she said. Later in the day, St. Gold Parish—Huesca's home church—held a remembrance Mass. The parish had played a role in the investigation by providing surveillance footage that helped detectives identify a suspect. According to police, surveillance from 90 different locations eventually led them to Xavier Tate Jr., who has since been charged with Huesca's murder. The Source FOX 32's Nate Rodgers reported on this story.
