A La Liga star is in an induced coma after suffering a head injury in a domestic accident.

Felix Garreta suffered a traumatic brain injury following a fall according to second division side SD Amorebieta, where the 20-year-old is on loan from Real Betis.

Garreta is said to have hurt himself after falling to the ground during a sudden dizzy spell while on holiday in Palau-solità i Plegamans.

Medics at a nearby Barcelona hospital where the youngster is in an induced coma described his outlook as “uncertain”.

Garreta’s teammates were informed of the situation on Thursday, with an update on his condition expected on Friday.

Amorebiet released a statement which said: “SD Amorebieta informs that the footballer Felix Garreta recently suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of a fall at home.

“The player on loan from Real Betis is currently in hospital, with a reserved prognosis and pending evolution.

“We are in constant contact with the player’s family and his club.”

Betis added in a social media comment: “All our support and affection from this club and its supporters for Felix and his family. We are all with you.”

Details of Garreta’s accident, said to have happened a few days ago, have not been made available to the public.

Despite Amorebieta having considered requesting a suspension of their match against Villarreal B on Sunday, it is at present, due to go ahead.

Garreta was expected to move back to Betis this summer ahead of the new campaign, while he had been tipped to represent Spain’s under-23’s for the Olympic Games in Paris.

The centre-back has scored an impressive four goals in his 33 appearances for Amorebieta this term.

Amorebieta are currently second-bottom of Spain’s 22-team Segunda Division, four points adrift of safety with four games to play. Villarreal B are a place above them in the table.
