Dani Alves’s wife says she has lost the “two pillars of my life” following her husband’s incarceration and her mum’s death.
The Brazil international was arrested on Friday in Barcelona after flying to Spain from Mexico following the death of his mother-in-law. Alves, sacked by Mexican club Pumas after a Spanish judge investigating him for an alleged sexual assault remanded him in custody, is now sleeping at Brians 1 prison - a 35-minute drive north-west of the Catalan capital. A spokesperson for the footballer confirmed he "vehemently denies" the allegations.
Court officials have confirmed he is in prison following his court appearance and said their probe into an alleged crime of sexual assault at iconic Barcelona nightclub Sutton late last month is continuing.
