Kirian Rodríguez has to stop playing football again. The Santa Cruz de Tenerife footballer had some medical tests last week. After analyzing the situation, the club and player have decided that it is best for him to stop playing. Kirian had missed several training sessions, and the reasons for his absence were not known.
The midfielder will hold a news conference tomorrow where he will explain his decision to stop playing, although he will not answer questions. His teammates have shown their support for the captain of the Canarian team, who already knew about the situation. Diego Martínez, the coach of the Las Palmas Sports Union, did not want to discuss the reasons for the player’s disappearance from training. As he said, “It is common, not all have the same needs.”
Kirian has previously battled cancer. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, which he was able to overcome. After that, he gradually returned to the team and became one of the most important players for the yellow team. Several teams, including Betis, were interested in signing him.
This season, Kirian has played 21 games in the EA Sports League, providing three assists in 1768 minutes of play. He has been the most used player by Diego Martínez, followed by Cillessen and Alberto Moleiro. However, Kirian’s physical condition has declined, and after several days of discussion, more details about his decision will be announced tomorrow.
