It follows the death of Antonio Puerta after collapsing on the pitch during a game in August last year.

The parents of Antonio Puerta, the Sevilla player who died after collapsing on the pitch during a game in August last year, are now reported to be considering taking legal action against the club for ‘moral damage’.

Interestingly the lawyer representing them, Juan Manuel Mauduit, was the President of Sevilla arch rival club Betis between the years 1979 and 1983. He says the parents accuse the club of doing nothing to avoid the death of their son after doctors knew that he suffered from arrhythmia, an irregular heart beat.

They are demanding 240,000 € compensation and claim to have a video filmed in the Sevilla dressing room recorded as attempts to revive Puerta were continuing. One of the club doctors is alleged to say in the video that ‘we’ve been saying that this would happen’.
