Former PSG star Ezequiel Lavezzi has been hospitalised ‘with stab wound’ amid reports of row with family member
FORMER Paris Saint-Germain star Ezequiel Lavezzi has been hospitalised after he reportedly suffered an abdominal wound.
Reports in South America say the ex-Argentina forward was taken to the Punta del Este hospital in Uruguay on Wednesday.
But conflicting reports have emerged regarding the circumstances how he got the wound.
A report from TYC Sports claims Lavezzi family sources said he received the wound when he slipped off a ladder while trying to change a light bulb.
However, El Observador say police sources have said the 38-year-old was stabbed by a family member during a party in Jose Ignacio when emergency services were requested at 5am on Tuesday.
Their report also alleges the stabbing occurred over a “money” matter.
Both reports say that Lavezzi has a broken collarbone from the incident, with the former report saying this came from him hitting a piece of furniture during the fall.
FM Gente report he has been admitted to hospital alongside his girlfriend.
Lavezzi has been retired from football for four years.
Since hanging up his boots he has used his time to travel around the world and attend a number of parties.
As well as PSG, Lavezzi has starred for the likes of Genoa and Napoli.
He retired in 2020 playing for Chinese side Hebei FC.
