Such messages typically serve to communicate solidarity from the club and to inform supporters that the organization is aware of and attentive to the situation. In this instance, the club limited its public remarks to the single sentence quoted by the spokesperson.
As of the spokesperson’s comment, there has been no accompanying confirmation about whether Jonathan is a player, coach, staff member or another person connected to the club, nor has any medical or timeline information been provided. The club did not indicate whether family members have been informed publicly, whether Jonathan is receiving treatment, or whether he remains at home or in hospital.
