Sevilla Football club have confirmed that former Spanish international Antonio Reyes has passed on after a fatal accident.


The 35 year old currently plays for Extremadura UD in the Spanish second tier.

He also had a short loan spell in Portugal with Benfica, re-joining Sevilla late in his career and winning the Europa League three times for a record total of five.

Reyes earned 21 caps for Spain, and represented the nation at the 2006 World Cup.
