Yesterday, Las Palmas played out a 1-1 draw with Celta in the 29th round of La Liga, but the match was overshadowed by a severe injury to one of the players.
Details: Former Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen collapsed on the pitch midway through the first half following a collision with Celta forward Borja Iglesias.
Cillessen was stretchered off the field, and after the match, an unexpected diagnosis was revealed. The Dutch goalkeeper required emergency bowel surgery due to a perforation, with the procedure being performed laparoscopically.
At this time, the exact recovery timeline for Cillessen is uncertain, and he remains in the hospital.
