'Good news, fortunately. He was in the hospital and they did all the tests, they just checked that everything was fine, and everything was fine, he's back home and he's fine, he feels fine.'

'We'll follow the protocols now and it's a couple of weeks where you just have to make sure everything is okay, but luckily it looks like a concussion but nothing more.

“It is always distressing. You saw especially Pedro (Porro), who was the first to arrive and I knew it was a distressing situation, but I thought the boys handled it well and the medical team handled it well, and fortunately everything was fine.
