Heartbreaking news in Urritxe. The young Félix Garreta, barely 20 years old and just a couple of weeks ago, is in an induced coma after having suffered a domestic accident last week during a stay in Barcelona. The footballer on loan from Betis suffered a sudden dizziness, as a result of which he suffered a severe impact on the head, for which he has been admitted to the ICU for several days in a hospital in Barcelona. A matter that, given its delicacy, both clubs have been handling with extreme caution while awaiting the results of the medical tests.
A confirmation that arrived this Thursday morning in Urritxe, where the preparatory session that was taking place at that time was immediately suspended. Félix suffers severe brain damage as a result of a significant traumatic brain injury and is in an induced coma. His prognosis is guarded.
The desolation is maximum within the Zornotzarra club, which during yesterday’s day considered requesting the postponement of the duel this Sunday in Lezama against Villarreal B. An option that has finally been discarded, considering that the request would most likely be denied. Thus, the blues will have to bite the bullet to carry out the important direct duel against the yellow reserves.
A truncated career
Félix arrived this summer at Amorebieta on loan and it didn’t take long for him to emerge as one of the very positive surprises of this season. He started as a left-back out of necessity, but his best performance began when he recovered his natural position as a center back. With a youthful appearance and perhaps a little physical, he usually shows forcefulness in the collision and anticipates the cut well every time he takes the field. Furthermore, one of his qualities is having a very good ball release. Until his untimely expulsion against Valladolid, the promising centre-back accumulated 31 appearances in the League, 29 of them as a starter, in which he also scored four goals.
His good performance helps Betis internal sources to affirm that, initially, Félix appears on the list for the next preseason under the command of Manuel Pellegrini in the verdiblando first team. He has also caught the attention of U21 coach Santi Denia, who has included him in the pre-list of future prospects for the next Olympic Games in Paris.
