‘I’ve gone through enough for them to question me about my son’s health’: Federico Valverde’s wife releases emotional statement after the Real Madrid star PUNCHED Villarreal’s Alex Baena ‘over comments about her pregnancy scare’

• Fede Valverde punched Alex Baena in the face as he was boarding the team bus
• Baena has been accused of making negative comments about Valverde’s family
• Valverde’s wife has posted an emotional message in response to the incident

Federico Valverde’s wife has released an emotional statement after the Real Madrid star was claimed to have punched Villarreal’s Alex Baena over an alleged comment about his wife’s pregnancy scare. 

The incident took place after Real Madrid’s 3-2 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu to Villarreal on Saturday.

Valverde punched Baena in the face after he was boarding the team bus after the two sides met.

The Villarreal player has decided to press charges against Valverde for the incident and has denied making any comment about the pregnancy scare.

His wife, Mina Bonino has now addressed the incident in a message on Twitter.

Reports suggested that Baena made comments over Valverde and his wife Mina Bonino’s (left) unborn child after they had a pregnancy scare earlier in the year

The pair already have a child, Benicio (pictured) and their expected baby is believed to be healthy with Mina writing last month that she was ‘six months into it’

She wrote: ‘Do I have to explain why they told me that my pregnancy could not continue?

‘We were silent for almost two months waiting for the result to know whether or not we could continue, having already five months of pregnancy.

‘I have already gone through enough for them to come and question me about my son’s health.

‘Despite everything, from the bottom of my heart, I don’t wish anyone to go through a similar situation.’

Valverde and Mina’s child is believed to be healthy, with the Sun reporting that she updated followers on Instagram last month that she was ‘six months into it’.

The couple already have one son together named Benicio, born in February 2020.

Baena denies telling Valverde in a cup game earlier this year: ‘Cry now that your son is not going to be born’. 

The comment was alleged to have been made around the time Valverde’s wife being in danger of losing the couple’s second child.

Baena posted on social media on Sunday morning: ‘Very happy with the team’s impressive victory in a place like the Santiago Bernabeu, but at the same time very sad about the aggression I suffered after the match and surprised by what is being said about me. IT IS TOTALLY UNTRUE THAT I SAID THAT.’

Valverde will escape immediate sporting punishment for punching Baena but the police will now be involved

Valverde will still escape any immediate sporting punishment for the incident, avoiding a possible 12 game ban, because Villarreal have decided not to report the incident to the Spanish Football Federation and it was not included in the referee’s report.

But Villarreal confirmed in a statement on Sunday night that the police will now be involved and that could leave a way open for Spain’s Anti-Violence Commission to get involved.

Baena had indicated to local journalists on Sunday morning that the matter would be laid to rest without any further action taken. But he changed his mind and his club have said they will back him in his decision.

The Villarreal statement issued on Sunday night read: ‘Villarreal CF player Alex Baena was assaulted last night on his way to the team bus after the match against Real Madrid CF at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. 

‘Once again, Villarreal CF rejects any act of violence and firmly believes in the version of its player and will support him throughout this process’. 

The club’s first reaction after Valverde punched Baena as he climbed aboard the Villarreal team bus last night following Villarreal’s 3-2 win at the Santiago Bernabeu was to leave the decision to their player. 

Despite having video evidence of the incident they felt it likely no action would be taken.
