The right-handed

José Antonio Canales Rivera

has been

caught in the first bull

of the bullfighting festival without bullfighters that was held this Friday in

Retuerta del Bullaque

(

Ciudad Real

), on the occasion of its patron saint festivities in honor of San Bartolomé Apóstol, and that has been suspended after the accident.

This has been confirmed to Efe by the mayor of Retuerta del Bullaque,

Miguel Ángel Villa

, who

has not been able to confirm the state in which the bullfighter is

, who has been treated immediately in the square, from where he has been

transferred to the General University Hospital from Ciudad Real

, which is about 90 kilometers away.

On the other hand, sources from the Health Service of Castilla-La Mancha (Sescam) have indicated to Efe that the bullfighter has not yet reached the hospital, where he will probably be operated on for the

wound he suffers in a groin

.

Along with the right-handed Canales Rivera, the matador

Pedro Gutiérrez "El Capea"

and the bullfighter

Miguel Zazo

were part of the cartel , who were going to fight bulls of the Conde de Mayalde currency.

The

festival has been suspended after the catching occurred

, since the organizers of the celebration have not been able to enable a new mobile UVI, necessary so that the celebration could continue to be held.
