Celtic Luis Palma’s heartfelt shirt message explained

Luis Palma revealed a heartfelt message “Fuerzas Elis” beneath his jersey after scoring the team’s third goal against Motherwell on Sunday.

This gesture was in support of his friend, Alberth Elis, a fellow Honduran player currently in a coma following a severe head injury sustained in a Ligue 2 match in France.

The match had barely begun when Elis experienced a significant head impact, necessitating immediate medical attention on the field. He was swiftly transported to the CHU Pellegrin in Bordeaux, where surgeons performed an urgent operation overnight to address his head trauma. Following the surgery, Elis was placed in a protective artificial coma to aid his recovery

Palma’s goal celebration not only underscored Celtic’s fighting spirit in their 3-1 comeback win but also brought attention to the solidarity within the football community during times of trouble. Palma’s message, “Fuerzas Elis,” which translates to “Strength for Elis,” serves as a poignant reminder of the support networks that exist among players.
