Who was the Uruguayan footballer Juan Izquierdo who died after collapsing during a match?
Image Source: Getty In a tragic incident, a Uruguayan footballer named Juan Izquierdo died after collapsing on the pitch. The incident happened on 27 August 2024 during a Copa Libertadores match in São Paulo, Brazil. He was only 27 years old at that time. The Club Nacional de Football defender passed out in the 84th minute of the match against São Paulo FC on August 22. He was treated on the pitch and at Hospital Albert Einstein, where he was put under intensive care for 5 days before dying from a cardiac arrest due to an undiagnosed heart arrhythmia. Cause of death and medical details revealed Izquierdo's collapse was believed to be caused by a heart arrhythmia, resulting in an irregular heartbeat. Doctors eventually concluded that a virus had traveled to his heart, producing the arrhythmia related to over-exertion in the game, his mother, Sandra Viana, would later disclose. Izquierdo had never had a diagnosed heart problem before, and had only been complaining of swollen lymph nodes. Despite the ongoing play, a defibrillator was brought onto the pitch, he was ventilated, and he required neurologic critical care for treatment of raised intracranial pressure. Tributes and legacy of the Uruguayan footballer The premature passing of Izquierdo shocked the footballing world. His club, Nacional, released a statement of profound sorrow, saying "All of Nacional is in mourning for his irreparable loss.' Brazilian side Sao Paulo were also among those to pay tribute, describing it as a "sad day for football". Big names in football, such as former Uruguay striker Diego Forlán and countryman Luis Suárez, offered their condolences, a reflection of the profound effect the tragedy has had. Domestic football league matches in Uruguay were postponed as a tribute to Izquierdo, while a minute's silence was also held in some stadiums. Izquierdo started playing professionally from the year 2018 when he represented Cerro. After going through the youth setup at the club, he would then go on to represent Peñarol, Montevideo Wanderers, Atlético San Luis in Mexico, and Liverpool Montevideo. He was a member of the Liverpool team that won the 2023 Uruguayan league title, the club's first in over 100 years. He returned to Nacional in 2024, after a period of adaptation in the club in 2022. It is a commitment to the game and respect from teammates and supporters that is his legacy.

Rangers hero Alfredo Morelos could be on the move AGAIN as ex-Celtic flop wants him at new club
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GERS hero Alfredo Morelos could be set for a reunion with a familiar Hoops flop. Former Celtic man Efrain Juarez, now managing Mexican team Pumas UNAM, is reportedly keen to sign the Colombian up after a stellar treble winning season. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Rangers hero Alfredo Morelos had a strong season at Atletico Nacional Credit: PA 3 He was managed by ex-Celtic man Efrain Juarez, who is now boss of Pumas UNAM Credit: Keith Campbell 3 He's been eyed for a move to Juarez' new team in Mexico Credit: Getty The duo worked together at Atletico Nacional but the gaffer has now moved on with the club's unwillingness to progress with signing El Buffalo cited as part of the reason for his departure. Morelos is only a loanee at the Medellin team and is contracted to Brazil's Santos, where Neymar currently plays and who were until recently managed by ex-Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha. He was sacked last month but before that his hardball negotiations were the reason Nacional couldn't land a permanent deal for the striker. But local news outlet El Meridiano is reporting that he is one of a number of players Juarez has his eyes on to strengthen his new outfit. They said: "Pumas is looking to strengthen its roster for next season in the Mexican soccer league and has its sights set on four Colombian players: Alfredo Morelos; William Tesillo, Edwin Cardona, and Andrés Felipe Román. "Former Atlético Nacional manager Efraín Juárez, now head coach of Pumas, left a significant mark on the Paisa club. "In four months, he won two titles: Liga Betplay and Copa Betplay. His departure from Nacional was due to issues with management. "The Mexican coach wants to strengthen his Pumas squad after the significant losses his team has suffered: Lisandro Magallán, Ricardo Galindo, Michel Rodríguez, and Alí Ávila. "Morelos was a key part of Juárez's journey at Nacional and would be the ideal forward Pumas is looking for to strengthen their team. "This season with Nacional, the Córdoba-born forward has played 20 matches, scoring 6 goals and providing 5 assists. Ex-Celtic star Efrain Juarez on managing Alfredo Morelos, Old Firm taunts and bonding with Ronny Deila over the Hoops "El Búfalo, as Morelos is known, plays for Atlético Nacional on loan and is still a member of the Brazilian club Santos." The ex-Parkhead man's adoration for the former Ibrox star is clear. Speaking previously to SunSport, he said: 'As soon as I came here, I sat with Alfredo and I could see in his eyes he is a really good person with a good heart. 'Physically, he's a tough guy. But when you eventually see his smile and he really talks to you, then you see an unbelievable person. 'At the beginning we made a deal. I said he would get everything from me and all I expected in return was everything from him. 'Now he is one of my leaders and we have an unbelievable relationship. On the pitch, he's the same Alfredo that was in his prime at Rangers. 'He's pushing himself, pressing high, keeping the ball, scoring goals, fighting for the team. I trust him 100 per cent.'

🔥Millonarios beat Envigado to go top
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. In a crazy match, the ambassador team won at the Campín and reached 35 points, the same number as Nacional, but with a worse goal opened the scoring at 15 minutes for the blue team, but from there the match had everything. And we say this because Ramírez could have equalized the score, but missed his penalty. And in the second half, Giordana had the same situation, but to increase the difference and also missed. That's why we had a great match until the end where Millonarios' defense made itself strong to secure the three points.
