Pablo Laso will leave basketball for some time

Pablo Laso, the Real Madrid basketball coach, remains stable in the ICU of La Moraleja hospital, where he was hospitalized on Sunday morning after suffering a myocardial infarction in the early hours. The club will offer a new medical part in the next few hours. Everything indicates that Pablo Laso will not be able to finish the season as he needs rehabilitation and his return will depend on how he evolves. The 54-year-old coach from Vitoria has a contract until June 2023. He had never suffered heart problems before.

According to club sources, Laso spent Sunday night in good spirits. The messages of support have been multiple in the last few hours. The objective right now is that he can leave the ICU and go to the plant, something that is not clear when it will happen.

The Real Madrid basketball team plays tomorrow, Tuesday, against Bitci Baskonia in the third game of the Endesa League semifinal playoff, in which they are leading 2-0. In place of Laso on the bench will be Chus Mateo, his assistant, who already took charge of the team when the coach from Vitoria tested positive for coronavirus in mid-December.
