The top scorer of the Colombian National Team spoke on his social networks.

The world of football was shaken this Monday with the surprise death of Andres Balanta, Deportivo Cali midfielder who was playing on loan at Atlético Tucumán, in the first division of Argentine soccer.

Balanta, 22, collapsed in his team’s first pre-season training session and was taken to a clinic, where he arrived without vital signs.

The local newspaper La Gaceta recalled that the player had already fainted when he was a member of Deportivo Cali in 2019. On that occasion, he underwent several tests, in which no anomaly was detected.

The Colombian and Argentine soccer federations expressed their sorrow over the death of Balanta, as well as his home club.
