Brazilian
striker Maicon Pereira, currently playing on loan at Ukrainian league side
Mariupol, has died in a car crash, local media reported on Saturday.
The
R-Sport news agency reported that Maicon, who joined Ukraine champions Shakhtar
Donetsk in 2012, died in an accident, which happened in Donetsk early on
Saturday.
“It’s
a terrible and heavy loss for all of us. He will remain a man of blessed memory
for all of us,” Shakhtar said in a statement on the club’s official website.
Maicon
joined Shakhtar in 2012 in a transfer move from Volyn Lutsk but failed to win a
place in the starting lineup.
He
subsequently went out on loan to Zorya Lugansk and Mariupol, with whom he
played 13 matches and scored three goals this season.
