A joyous occasion has been tragically disrupted for Lionel Messi and his family. His sister, Maria Sol Messi, has suffered serious injuries in a car accident, forcing her to postpone her upcoming wedding.
The accident occurred in Miami, where Maria Sol lost control of her vehicle and collided with a wall. Initial reports indicate she sustained significant injuries, including spinal fractures and burns, requiring an extended period of rehabilitation.
Family members have confirmed that Maria Sol is now out of danger, but the road to recovery will be long. The wedding, planned for January 3rd in Rosario, Argentina, has been indefinitely postponed due to the severity of her injuries.
Details emerging reveal the extent of her physical trauma: two fractured vertebrae, a fractured heel, and a fractured wrist. The incident has understandably shaken the Messi family, who were eagerly anticipating the celebration.
Maria Sol was set to marry Julian “Tuli” Arellano, a coach with Inter Miami’s under-19 team. The couple, who share a history dating back to their childhood in the same neighborhood, had envisioned a wedding mirroring the beautiful celebration Lionel shared with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, also in Rosario.
Despite maintaining a relatively private life, Maria Sol has been a dedicated entrepreneur, previously working as brand manager for The Messi Store, her brother’s clothing line. Her commitment to family and her own ventures is well-known.
The entire Messi family, including Lionel, were expected to attend the wedding, making the postponement particularly heartbreaking. All focus now shifts to Maria Sol’s recovery and providing her with the support she needs during this challenging time.
The circumstances surrounding the accident are still being clarified, with initial reports suggesting a possible motorbike incident later corrected to a car collision with a wall. Regardless, the priority remains Maria Sol’s health and well-being.
