Ezequiel Lavezzi Placed in Isolation at Psychiatric Hospital

Former PSG player Ezequiel Lavezzi has been admitted to a specialized psychiatric and mental health facility in Buenos Aires.

Lavezzi’s downward spiral continues. After being injured with a knife under unclear circumstances, the former PSG player has been placed in near-isolation in a mental health clinic in Argentina.

« It’s tough. But I have to do it, I have to redirect my life, my habits. And all of this, I have to do it for my son. I had exceeded the limits. I tried to ‘cleanse’ myself alone at home, but I couldn’t. There was no choice but to come here to the clinic, » he reportedly told a close friend, according to Argentine journalist Matias Vazquez.

Lavezzi is said to be struggling with alcohol addiction primarily. In the clinic, he is in almost total isolation, without a television and deprived of his phone except for a few hours a day. Only a few close relatives will be allowed to visit him, according to L’Equipe.

« My father is undergoing treatment and is doing well. Stop inventing things that are false. He did not overdose, » commented his son Tomás on social media.
