Isco himself responded generously that this was just an accident and wished La Rubia good luck in the new season.

Malaga player La Rubia wrote:

First of all, I want to apologize to Isco again and wish him a speedy recovery and hope that his injury will not be serious.

Everyone who knows me knows that I will never deliberately hurt my peers, let alone this player who has always been my idol.

I am receiving a lot of abuse on social networks, some of which are extremely hurtful, and I think these abuses are something I should not bear.

The collision was purely accidental: I thought I could touch the ball quickly and cleanly, but because Isco was so good that he stepped forward to block it, I kicked him. I immediately went to care about him after the action was over. After the midfield whistle sounded, I went to confirm his condition again. Although it was an accident, I also knew that the action itself was very intense.

I just want to make it clear: I will never intentionally hurt any opponent, especially Isco, I enjoy watching him play football every week.

In response to this, Isco social media replied: "There is nothing to complain about, my friend. This is just a normal confrontation in the game, just like hundreds of events happening in every game! Give you a hug and wish you good luck this season."
