Former Liverpool winger Mark Gonzalez is recovering after suffering a heart attack at the age of just 36, according to a report. The 36-year-old was signed by Rafa Benitez in the summer of 2005 from Albacete but spent only one year at Anfield in season during which the Reds reached the Champions League final. Gonzalez retired from playing in 2019, hanging up his boots after a spell with Deportes Magallanes in his homeland, having also previously represented the likes of CSKA Moscow and Real Betis.

Days filled with uncertainty, it’s been really frightening. ‘I am writing this as you are still here with us and a little better – and because in many ways, the fact that you are still here with us, makes us cherish every moment we have together, family and above all, life itself. It’s amazing how everything can change from one moment to the next. ‘Life can surprise us and test us, instill fear, but with faith, strength and hope, we can come out of all of the bad moments. I want you to be with me forever, Mark.’
