Espanyol's captain, Daniel Jarque, has died after he suffered a heart attack during a training session in Italy with the club.
Club doctors and Italian paramedics tried to revive the 26-year-old without success.
Jarque joined Espanyol in 1995 as a 12-year-old, and has been a regular in the Catalan side since he made his debut in 2002. He was named as captain only this summer.
