Mallorca goalkeeper Ivan ‘Pichu’ Cuellar was hospitalised on Monday after a large structure forming part of the decor in the dining room at the club’s Ciutat Esportiva Antonio Asensio training ground collapsed on him, leaving him with a serious head injury.

The incident occurred ahead of a scheduled training session at the facility, also known as Son Bibiloni. Cuellar was taken to hospital for treatment and was set to remain under observation for at least 24 hours, the club confirmed.
