An Argentine footballer has tragically died
after colliding with another player and
catching a knee to the head in a freak on
pitch accident.
The player, identified in local media as 24-
year-old Michael Favre who played for San
Jorge de Villa Elisa in Argentina’s Entre
Rios province, fell to the ground while
battling for the ball against his Defensores
de Colon opponent, Geronimo Quintana.
Quintana appeared to accidentally knee
Favre in the head while the two tumbled to
the ground.
Favre got up after the collision, but was
then knocked to the ground by a third
player, identified as Favio Larrosa, who
appeared to hit him in the head with his
forearm.

Favre struggled to get up for a second time
before falling back to the ground and
appearing to go unconscious.
The player, who local media reported was
the father of two, was taken by ambulance
to a local hospital where he was later
pronounced dead on arrival.
The Argentine Football Association released
a statement shortly after to offer
condolences to Favre’s family and his club.
“The AFA expressed his condolences for the
death of Michael Favre, San Jorge player of
Villa Elisa, and sends its support for the
family and the club.
