Young Boys, VfB Stuttgart's opponents in the UEFA Champions League tonight, and their player Meschack Elia received incredibly sad news on Tuesday evening. One of Elia's sons died unexpectedly after a short illness. The player travelled back to Bern on Wednesday.
VfB Stuttgart expresses its deepest sympathy and wishes the player and his family every strength during this difficult time.
The Young Boys players will wear black armbands in the Champions League match on Wednesday evening. There will also be a minute's silence before kick-off.
