Freddy Rincon's son posts emotional picture as ex-Real Madrid star critical after car crash

Freddy Rincon 's son has shared an emotional picture of the former Real Madrid midfielder, who remains in a critical condition after being involved in a car crash.

Rincon suffered severe head injuries after his car collided with a bus at a crossroads in the early hours of Monday morning in his native Colombia, later undergoing a life-saving operation. The 52-year-old was driving and his four passengers were also injured in the collision, as well as the bus driver, who too was admitted to hospital with injuries which included a broken leg.

With tributes flooding from around the world, Sebastian Rincon - who himself is a professional footballer and plays for Argentinian club Barrascas Central - took to Instagram to share a touching image holding his father's hand at his bedside. "Here we stand firm my old man," the 28-year-old wrote alongside his post. Dad Rincon is being treated at the Imbanaco Clinic in Cali, which is located south-west of capital city Bogota.
