There is no picture of the boy with the catheter on his left chest yet. We have included images of another boy with a catheter to illustrate the cause better.
Malaga Put Crest On Right Chest for Child Having Catheder on Left Chest
The child required a kit with the shield on the opposite side of the garment due to the catheter where he gets chemotherapy. The request was made by the physiotherapist, Aurora, who assists the boy.
¡Este peque ya tiene lista su camiseta para la victoria!
Gracias por ayudarnos a conocerle 💙🤍 https://t.co/mj0XKfn6oW pic.twitter.com/8vV7dTWY99— Málaga CF (@MalagaCF) August 18, 2023Malaga soon contacted Aurora and the boy's parents to find out about the case. Within 24 hours, Malaga showed the adapted shirt, with the shield on the right side of the chest, in response to the request. The club have been praised for their prompt action and the gesture have gone viral on social media in Spain.
The silhouette of the removed crest can be still seen on the left chest. It were not Hummel but the club themselves who created the kit, and that within just 24 hours. Fantastic.
