A statement from his Uruguayan club read:

'Lucas Viatri suffered an accident with pyrotechnics that affected both eyes.


'He is in Buenos Aires, where he is resting and examinations are being carried out to establish the relevant treatment.'

They were unable to confirm how long it would take for him to recover though.

Viatri has spent virtually all of his career playing in South America with spells at both Boca Juniors and Estudiantes.
