Spanish footballer Nico Hidalgo has passed away at the age of 32 after a long battle with lung cancer. His former clubs confirmed the heartbreaking news on Saturday.

Hidalgo started his football journey at Motril, making his senior debut in 2010 before joining Granada B in 2012. In 2014, he signed with Juventus but never featured for the first team, leading to a loan move back to Granada.

His career saw him play for Cádiz, initially on loan before making the move permanent in 2017. He later played for Racing Santander and Extremadura before retiring in 2022, a year after being diagnosed with cancer.

Granada paid tribute to him, saying, “With Nico’s departure, we not only lose a talented footballer but also a remarkable person. The love from his teammates, coaches, staff, and fans will always remain.”

Cádiz also shared a heartfelt message: “We will never forget your smile and joy. Your fight will always inspire us. Rest in peace.”

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane didn’t hold back after the club’s 4-1 loss to Newcastle, saying manager Ruben Amorim might not have realised just how poor the squad really is.

Newcastle dominated the match, with goals from Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimarães, and a brace from Harvey Barnes. Alejandro Garnacho’s equaliser was the only bright moment for United, who now sit 14th on the Premier League table.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane said Amorim must be baffled by the level of performance from his players.

“He’s probably scratching his head right now,” Keane said. “He can’t come out and say it, but I don’t think he knew just how bad this team really is. The mistakes they’re making, the lack of energy — it’s shocking.”

Keane also suggested that the Premier League might be proving tougher than Amorim expected.

“He’s done his research, sure, but I think this league has caught him off guard. He’s walked into a mess and probably didn’t see it coming.”
