Wanderers captain Ricardo Santos is currently in hospital with breathing problems, Ian Evatt has revealed tonight.
The defender was rushed to a local hospital yesterday after contracting a virus.
It is understood that he has shown signs of improvement today and that he has swapped messages with his team-mates after they grabbed a 94th minute equaliser against Bristol Rovers.
Evatt said the news of his illness had taken the whole group back.
“That has rocked us all. Rico was hospitalised yesterday with a really bad viral infection and some pneumonia as well. He has had a really difficult time with breathing,” he said.
“It happened so quickly that is rocked us all and worried us.
“He is our captain and our leader and we miss him immensely but we will rally around him, rally around his wonderful family and do everything we can to make sure he makes a speedy recovery.”
