Lionel Messi will be making his customary trip back to his home city of Rosario, Argentina, this Christmas to spend the holiday season with his family. The veteran superstar will have to alter his plans though, following a fortuitous car accident.
Messi had been due to attend the wedding of his sister Maria Sol on the third of January in Argentina, but the big day has now been postponed. As explained by Marca, Maria Sol was involved in a car accident in Miami this week.
Maria Sol’s life is not in danger, but she did suffer serious injuries, reports Jorge de Brito following conversations with Celia Cuccitini, her mother. After losing control of the car, which caused the crash, Maria Sol sustained two fractured vertebrae, severe burns, a fractured two and an ankle injury. As such, Maria Sol will spend the coming weeks in recovery, and not as she had planned.
Maria Sol is engaged to Julian Arellano, who has known the youngest of the Messi siblings since their childhood. Arellano incidentally is a coach in the academy at Inter Miami, and the couple live in Florida near her big brother. Like most of the Messi family, Maria Sol has opted to keep a low profile in light of Lionel’s global celebrity.
