Angleški nogometni prvoligaš Manchester City se je poklonil nekdanjemu članu mladinske akademije Jeremyju Wistnu, ki je v nedeljo tragično umrl pri 17 letih. V Malaviju rojeni branilec se je klubu pridružil leta 2016, vendar mu ta v začetku leta ni podaljšal pogodbe.
"Pri Manchester Cityju smo užaloščeni nad novico o smrti nekdanjega člana akademije Jeremyja Wistna. Sožalje njegovim prijateljem in družini. V teh težkih časih so našel misli z vami," je prek Twitterja zapisal Manchester City.
Vzrok smrti za zdaj uradno ni znan, britanski mediji pa poročajo, da je Wisten "umrl v tragičnih okoliščinah". Neuradno naj bi storil samomor.
Po navedbah angleških medijev naj bi se pokojnik že dalj časa boril z depresijo, z izgubo pogodbe pa se je stanje še poslabšalo, kar je na koncu pripeljalo do tragedije.
The Manchester City family are saddened to learn of the passing of former Academy player Jeremy Wisten. We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
