Leik­menn og fé­lög sendu sam­úðar­kveðjur til Benik Afobe

Knattspyrnumaðurinn Benik Afobe greindi frá því í gær dóttir hans, Amora, hafi látist á föstudaginn eftir baráttu við veikindi. Amora var einungis tveggja ára gömul þegar hún lést.

Þessi 26 ára gamli framherji er nú á láni hjá Bristol City en hann er samningsbundinn Stoke City. Hann ólst upp hjá Arsenal en hefur einnig leikið með Bournemouth og Wolves.

Afobe greindi frá áfallinu í yfirlýsingu í gær en hann er sjálfur á meiðslalistanum og verður það væntanlega út tímabilið vegna hnémeiðsla sem hann varð fyrir í september.

Margir úr knattspyrnuheiminum hafa sent Afobe og fjölskyldu hans kveðjur en nokkrar þeirra má sjá hér að neðan.
