The family of Argentine captain Lionel Messi has issued a public statement confirming that his father, Jorge Messi, is currently receiving medical care for an unspecified health condition.
In the statement released on Thursday, the Messi family said Jorge Messi is under medical supervision and is “recovering and evolving favourably.” However, they did not disclose the nature of his illness and asked for privacy during the difficult period.
The family also condemned the spread of rumours and misinformation regarding Jorge Messi’s condition, stressing that only immediate family members possess accurate information and that any updates should come through official family channels.
The statement came after widespread speculation about Jorge Messi’s health following Lionel Messi’s emotional reaction during Argentina’s 3-0 World Cup victory over Algeria. After the match, Messi revealed he had been going through “difficult days” due to personal issues unrelated to football.
Reports indicate that concern over his father’s health contributed to the emotional scenes witnessed during the match. The family has urged the media and the public to respect their privacy and avoid speculation while Jorge continues his recovery
