Rosario Central player in motorway accident, teammates rush to help | OneFootball

A Rosario Central youth soccer player was involved in a car accident on Friday while on his way to morning training. The player is Kevin Gutiérrez, who was assisted by teammates - including Ángel Di María - and later taken to a health center "in good condition".

The Canalla institution clarified on social media X that the accident, which occurred on the Rosario-Buenos Aires highway, "had no serious consequences" and specified that the 19-year-old midfielder was transferred to the Sanatorio Mapaci in the southern city of Santa Fe "for evaluation".

Meanwhile, the local media outlet Rosario3 revealed that the player crashed into a truck at the General Lagos toll booth and suffered "head trauma and a blow to a upper limb", although this information was not confirmed by the club.

The institution did confirm that "teammates who were also on their way to practice" at the Arroyo Seco grounds "recognized the vehicle and assisted him immediately".

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

In fact, a video that went viral on social media showed the white Peugeot 208 that Gutiérrez was driving, and next to the vehicle - which suffered significant damage - several soccer players and police officers.

All of them were on their way to morning training ahead of the match this Saturday at 17:30 against Newell's for the sixth round of the Clausura Tournament. In it, the "Canalla" will be the home team, as the match will take place at the Gigante de Arroyito. This is the first classic since "Fideo" returned to the team where he debuted as a professional player.
