Concern with Papu Gómez due to a dark post

The footballer Alejandro ‘Papu’ Gomezworld champion in 2022 with Argentina and inactive since March 2026 due to a serious ankle injury, has generated concern among his followers based on a reflection published on his social networks.

“Even if you feel like your chest weighs a ton, don’t give up,” he expressed on his Instagram profile, a publication that he accompanied with a photograph of himself. “Everything happens. I promise you that the world is not going to end today,” wrote the former Sevilla midfielder, and continued: “Sometimes we have to break down for a little while so that a little light can enter through the cracks.”

Gómez ended his publication full of emotion by reflecting: “Pain does not stay to live forever in your soul; life always finds a way to adjust itself again. Breathe deeply, let go of fear suddenly and trust. I swear to you that everything passes.” The message provoked thousands of reactions on the social network among his followers, although comments on the publication were limited.

The footballer currently plays for Calcio Padova, a club in the Italian Second Division, which he joined after completing two years of inactivity, from October 2023 to October 2025, for testing positive in an anti-doping test carried out in November 2022 for terbutaline, a medication that opens the airways and relieves shortness of breath.

Prior to this stage, Papu defended the Sevilla FC shirt in LaLiga EA Sports for two seasons (2021-2022 and 2022-2023), after the Seville club closed the transfer agreement with Atalanta BC; With the Seville team he played 90 games, scored 10 goals and distributed 6 assists.

After serving his doping ban, the midfielder joined his current club and said last December that he was not thinking about retiring and that he would like to be able to play for at least three or four more years. Gómez has been inactive since March 2026 due to a serious ankle injury that forced him to undergo surgery.
