Real Madrid's De La Red stunned by Jarque passing

Real Madrid midfielder Ruben de la Red admits he's stunned by the passing of Espanyol captain Dani Jarque.

De La Red is currently recovering from collapsing during a Copa game last season and is sitting out this season as tests are run on his heart.

He said: "I was lucky that what happened to Jarque did not happen to me. With all that I can remember from what happened to me in Irun, I am lucky enough to be here.

"Now we must all support his family because they are going through a really bad time. I very much regret his loss and we all now want to help Espanyol."
