Espanyol coach Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that he and the whole of his club are still in shock over the sudden death of captain Daniel Jarque.
The 26-year-old suffered a heart attack last weekend during a pre-season training camp in Italy, leaving the Barcelona-based club in mourning at such a tragic loss.
Pochettino told AS: "He was an outstanding person and a great professional.
"This is a great loss for his family and for Espanyol. It is very hard to take.
"We do not yet believe what has happened. It has been a huge blow and it is very sad. We are all full of pain, something inexplicable has happened."
