Rosario Central player in motorway accident, team-mates rush to help | OneFootball

A youth footballer from Rosario Central suffered a car accident this Friday while heading to morning training. The player in question is Kevin Gutiérrez, who was assisted by teammates—among them, Ángel Di María—and was later taken “in good condition” to a healthcare center.

The Canalla club clarified on social network X that the accident, which took place on the Rosario-Buenos Aires highway, “did not have serious consequences” and specified that the 19-year-old midfielder was transferred to the Sanatorio Mapaci in the southern Santa Fe city “to be evaluated.”

Meanwhile, local outlet Rosario3 reported that the player crashed into a truck near the General Lagos toll and suffered “head trauma and an upper limb injury”, although this information was not confirmed by the club.

The club did confirm that “at the time, teammates who were also heading to practice” at the training ground in Arroyo Seco “recognized the vehicle and assisted him immediately.”

The same Rosario outlet detailed that, in addition to Di María, Gutiérrez was helped by midfielder Ignacio Malcorra, left-back Juan Elordi, defenders Carlos Quintana and Emanuel Corone, and goalkeeper Axel Werner.

In fact, in a video that went viral on social media, you could see the white Peugeot 208 the young man was driving and, next to the vehicle—which suffered significant damage—various footballers and police officers.

All of them were heading to morning training ahead of the match this Saturday at 5:30 p.m. against Newell’s for the sixth round of the Torneo Clausura. In this match, the “Canalla” will play as home team, since the game will take place at the Gigante de Arroyito. It will be the first derby since “Fideo” returned to the team where he made his professional debut.
