Dolores Aveiro’s partner, visibly shaken, spoke to the press and gave an update on her healthy after she suffered from a stroke on Tuesday.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s family suffered a fright this week when his mother, Doloros Aveiro, was hospitalised after suffering a stroke.
The Juventus striker flew straight to Funchal to be by her side and with his family and sent an updating thanking everyone for their concern but requesting privacy.
Aveiro’s partner, Jose Andrade, has delivered an update on Wednesday regarding the health of his partner.
Jorge Andrade speaks to the press
“I have nothing to say,” he told the press. “She is good, everything is good. The important thing is that she is recovering. Everyone is supporting here. Everyone is united. I was there this morning.”
Aveiro was sent to intensive care after the stroke but was said to be stable and recovering well. Ronaldo returned to Italy where he partook in training on Wednesday after asking permission to fly in his private jet to be by his mother’s side.
Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Juventus training day after dash to Portugal to visit mother in hospital
Juventus have confirmed that star striker Cristiano Ronaldo returned to training on Wednesday, a day after jetting back to his Portuguese homeland to visit his mother in hospital after she suffered a stroke.
“It should be noted that Cristiano Ronaldo took part regularly in today’s training,” Juventus wrote on their website.
Ronaldo is back in Turin after rushing home to Portugal to visit his mother Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, 65, who was taken to hospital on the island of Madeira on Tuesday to undergo urgent surgery having fallen ill earlier that morning.
That 35-year-old football star jetted home to be with her and later confirmed Dolores was “stable and recovering in hospital.” He also thanked fans as messages of support poured in.
Dolores, a mother of four, has previously fought breast cancer and had a lump removed in 2007.
Ronaldo later donated more than $100,000 for a cancer center at the hospital which saved her life.
However, she revealed last year that she had since undergone more surgery on one of her breasts as well as radiotherapy.
The footballer is one of four siblings, along with elder sisters Elma and Lilianna Catia, and a brother named Hugo.
They lost their father, Jose Dinis Aveiro, in 2005 at the age of 52 after he died of liver failure following a battle with alcoholism.
Ronaldo is extremely close to his mother, often sharing pictures of the pair on his social media accounts.
Juventus had been due to face AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg on Wednesday night, although the game was postponed amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak in the country.
They are due to travel to Bologna in Serie A on Sunday, in a game which could be played behind closed doors due to coronavirus fears.
