National team players, coaches and football personalities send messages of encouragement to Freddy Rincón

Colombia is vigilant for the health of former Colombia national team player Freddy Rincón, who in the early morning of Monday suffered a serious traffic accident and had to be transferred to the Imbanaco Clinic in the capital of Vallecauca. The center's chief medical officer, Laureano Quintero, said that the former footballer of Independiente Santa Fe and America de Cali continues with advanced support measures and his prognosis is reserved.

“Freddy Rincón continues with advanced support measures, his condition is still very critical, his prognosis has not changed for the time being, considering the delicate evolution he has been presenting. His prognosis is still very reserved,” said the specialist at the press conference.

Players, coaches, football teams, among others, have expressed messages of support for the Colossus of Bonaventure on their social networks.

The captain of the Colombian national team and historical top scorer of the Tricolor, Radamel Falcao García, through his social networks, sent a message of encouragement to the former player, who is in a critical condition.

Falcao, who is currently playing for Rayo Vallecano in Spain, wrote, “My prayers and a hug to Freddy Rincón's family and friends in these hard times. A lot of strength for him at this time of struggle for his life.” This is the first reference of the Tricolor to manifest itself with regard to the situation in Rincón.

Along with Falcao, some former players, clubs and coaches have spoken out about what happened to Rincón. Jorge Bermudez wrote on his social networks: “Fuerza amigo. Prompt recovery. God always be with you.”

For its part, the Corinthians, team in which he became an idol, published, “all our prayers are with our world champion Freddy Rincón, who suffered a serious traffic accident in Cali. Force Freddy!”

The striker of the national team, Rafael Santos Borré, wrote on Twitter: “A lot of strength the Colombian legend is with you”.

For his part, coach Jorge Luis Pinto wrote: “A big hug to my friend Freddy Rincón, a lot of strength that you will get out of it well. Speedy recovery!”

Likewise, the Colombia women's national team player, Nicole Regnier, also sent her message of encouragement to Rincon.

“Because you put this country to dream and gave it greatness, it was FREDDY EUSEBIO. You deserve to get out of this! (sic)”.

The women's under 20 team also sent a message of support and speedy recovery to the former midfielder.

Also goalkeeper and sports commentator Faryd Mondragón wrote on Twitter: “Civilian force”.

Although the communications office of the Caleño medical center announced that the patient is still in a critical condition and his prognosis remained reserved around 9:35 a.m. this Tuesday, April 12, the hospital released the #4 statement on the state of health of the Tricolor idol at the 1990 World Cup in Italy.

In this new report, medical specialists reported that the former player “continues to receive the necessary measures in the Intensive Care Unit. With all the relevant specialties and sources of knowledge that allow us to make the best decisions.”

Laureano Quintero, medical director of the Imbanaco clinic, told on March 12 that Freddy's condition is maintained with advanced support measures. With critical condition, his prognosis has not changed and in view of the fact that his evolution has not been as expected, more resources have been implemented so that the former footballer can be in optimal condition.

Quintero announced that they will carry out additional tests on Freddy Rincón's brain and that they will serve as a guide to implement the most appropriate work plan.
