Sensitive images. Shock from an iron blow to the face that Luka Romero suffered… and from a teammate himself

It was 43 minutes into the first half of the match between Celta and Almería, for the 27th round of the Spanish League. Almería is the worst team in the competition, in 20th place, last, with just 10 points. He fights, he searches, he does what he can, although in the Spanish league three teams are going to relegation, the last in the classification and, truly, it is complicated. Luke Romero, 19 years old, is his recent figure. He was about to arrive in Boca, but preferred to stay and fight it in the Old Continent.

The first half ends and Romero looks for the ball, as always, with soul and life, on the side, almost in the middle of the field, far from his comfort zone, the area. He throws himself onto the grass and wants to gain position from Fran Beltrán, Celta’s midfielder. The match is 0-0 and is played as if it were a world final. Suddenly, the ball drifts to Luca De La Torre, also from Celta, who avoids a very strong tackle (from the ground, with his legs up) from Marc Pubill. Which ends up applying a terrible iron to the Argentine player’s face.

Immediately, the commotion in the Celta stadium, in Balaídos. Romero remained on the grass, lying down and was then replaced by Leo Baptistao under everyone’s attention and farewell with some applause. With a neck brace and maximum medical care, the player went to the locker room and was then transferred to a health center.

He was transferred to a hospital for a more complete examination after the severe accidental blow he suffered to the face. “We hope that it is nothing and that the footballer can be well soon,” was the message that Almería published during the match, already with the Argentine in the hospital. Romero is in Lionel Scaloni’s consideration for the national team.
