Marcos Alonso Peña, former Atlético and Barcelona striker and father of Marcos Alonso, died on February 9 at the age of 63. He fought cancer for a long time, but the disease took over.
The management of Barcelona and the players of the team decided to support a friend in a difficult period for him.
Javi Miguel, journalist for Diario AS, said that the team has rescheduled classes and will accompany him to the funeral:
“Friday morning training will be moved to the afternoon. The bulk of the squad, led by Xavi and the captains, will travel to Madrid to accompany Marcos Alonso to his father’s funeral.
It is clear that Marcos Alonso is not training today and is not expected to train tomorrow either. The player has permission from the club to be absent for as many days as he sees fit.”
