Puerta's former partner gives birth

The former partner of Sevilla soccer player Antonio Puerta gave birth to his son on Sunday, two months after the player died of heart failure.

Spanish media said Aitor Antonio and his mother Mar Roldan were both in good health and that Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido was among the well-wishers who visited the Sagrado Corazon hospital in Seville.

Puerta, one of Spain's most promising young players, collapsed on the pitch during Sevilla's season opener against Getafe. He died three days later, aged 22, after a prolonged cardiac arrest.

Baby Aitor has already been enrolled as a season ticket holder of the club, whom his father helped to win back-to-back UEFA Cups and the King's Cup.
