Spanish football rallies around Real Sociedad's Sangalli after suffering 'mild stroke'

Clubs from across Spanish football have rallied round Real Sociedad's Luca Sangalli after the club confirmed the youngster had been hospitalised due to a "mild stroke".

Sangalli, 23, has been one of the high points in a mixed start to the season for the Basque side.

The player has appeared in six Liga games since making his debut on August 31, scoring his first goal for the club in a 3-1 victory over regional rivals Athletic at San Mames to cap a brilliant performance.

But Real have now revealed that the midfielder, whose brother Marco also represented the club, required treatment for a serious medical condition.
