Verreth Welcomed Back to Bari by Teammates After Son’s Death

The midfielder will soon join teammates in final preparations ahead of the August 17 Coppa Italia clash at San Siro.

Overview

  • Verreth arrived at Karol Wojtyla Airport on August 7 and was embraced by coach Fabio Caserta, directors Giuseppe Magalini and Valerio Di Cesare and the entire squad
  • He returned with his wife, Seli Muyabo, and their daughter, Amelia Madelyn, marking his first appearance since his 14-month-old son Elliott’s sudden death
  • In late July, after Elliott became critically ill, Bari suspended its Roccaraso training camp, canceled a scheduled friendly and displayed a solidarity banner when training resumed
  • President Luigi De Laurentiis personally escorted Verreth to Fiumicino Airport to ensure he could return swiftly to Belgium for family support
  • With Verreth back in the squad, Bari has resumed training and is preparing for its Coppa Italia first-round match against AC Milan on August 17
