Through his social networks, Diego González wanted to reassure Zaragoza fans after the huge scare he had against Bilbao Athletic. The Real Zaragoza centre-back suffered a spectacular blow to the head during Friday’s friendly that caused a concussion and for which he had to be evacuated to a hospital, where he underwent the corresponding tests and remained under observation on Friday night. From the hospital, the footballer wanted to convey a message of calm after the scare.
«Dear Zaragoza fans! First of all, thank you all for the signs of affection I have received, I am fine. It was a scare, I will need rest to grease the machine and very soon I will put my head back in hornets’ nests!», has transmitted through his account of the social network ‘X’ the one who is emerging as the great bulwark of the white defense in this preseason.
In addition, the player from Castellón also wanted to publicly thank the work of all the people who were watching him after the blow: «I want to publicly thank all the staff of Real Zaragoza and the Quirón Hospital for the attention and speed shown. But, especially, to Doctor Iepure, Lalo Arantegui and Jorge, for their humanity and coordination with my family at a delicate time.»
REST
During his stay in hospital, the centre-back has received a visit from Rubén Díez, a player with whom he shared a dressing room last season at Ceuta and who this summer were reunited in the ranks of Real Zaragoza. The midfielder wanted to accompany his teammate at this time after the strong impact that forced Diego González to leave the pitch on a stretcher.
Now, Diego González will have to rest for a few days before progressively resuming activity, so his evolution will determine when he will be able to work with the group again. Real Zaragoza will have to keep an eye on his condition over the next few days, as it remains to be seen if the centre-back can recover in time to arrive in condition for the league debut against Nàstic de Tarragona.
