MONTEVIDEO (AFP) - Uruguay international striker Dario Silva, who played last season with English Premiership club Portsmouth, has had his right leg amputated after being seriously hurt in a car crash.
Silva underwent surgery on Sunday and was put in an induced coma because of the serious state of his health, said the hospital treating him.
However his mother revealed on Monday that the veteran striker - capped 49 times and scorer of 15 goals - had had to have his right leg amputated after developing a blood clot.
"Even though his state has improved he unfortunately had to have his right leg amputated," said Doris Pereira.
The 33-year-old, who featured for Uruguay in the 2002 World Cup finals, was driving his van in the company of former footballers Elbio Pappa and Dard Pereira when the accident occurred in the Uruguayan capital.
Silva, who previously played for Cagliari, Espanyol, Malaga and Sevilla in his 10 years in Europe, was on holidays in his homeland awaiting news of a possible transfer to a new club.
