Reyes and Puerta to feature on Sevilla's captain's armband next season LaLiga Club will pay tribute to its late legends

Sevilla will pay tribute to two of their former players on their captain's armband for the 2019/20 season.

The names and shirt numbers of the late Jose Antonio Reyes and Antonio Puerta are written on the armbands as a mark of respect.

Reyes went on to become a club legend at Sevilla after coming through the youth academy at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. He died earlier this month after a car accident.

Like Reyes, Puerta also came through the system at Sevilla and was a one-club man until his premature death at the age of 22.

While playing for Sevilla in 2007, Puerta suffered the first of multiple cardiac arrests that were caused by a hereditary heart condition. He died in hospital three days after.

Another Sevilla academy product will wear the armband for the Andalusians next season as club captain Jesus Navas will honour his former teammates.
