“He is fine, however the injuries he suffered are delicate and in the next few hours, he will have to undergo surgery. The operation is very complicated, but it does not compromise your health.

“The recovery process will be long and difficult since he will have to rest for several weeks and then undergo rehabilitation therapies.

“For us, it is very important to communicate to them through our own voice the family situation that we are going through since we know how much love they have for us. At this time, the priority is to focus on this process so that Eugenio can move forward, taking the time necessary to do so.

“I have some work commitments to fulfill that I cannot cancel, but I ask you with much love, that whatever you want to know about this topic, allow me to communicate it through my social networks.
