Boca Junior teenage footballer Exequiel Zeballos recently shared a touching moment with his daughter Bianca on Instagram.
The Argentine winger, who showcases incredible football skills with Boca Juniors in the Primera División, boasts a large following of over 2.1 million on his Instagram page.
In the heartwarming Instagram post, Zeballos is captured embracing his beloved daughter with the caption 'My love bug'.
This rare glimpse into the personal life of the star athlete depicts that footballers like Zeballos are not only celebrated for their abilities on the field but also cherished for their dedication as fathers and family men off the pitch.
As fans continue to be captivated by Zeballos' remarkable skills and unwavering passion for the game, it is evident that his greatest joy and inspiration stem from the love he shares with his daughter.
The 21-year-old Argentine missed training on January 3, 2024, due to the birth of his first daughter, Bianca who he had with his partner Noelia Escañuela.
He shared the news and a photo of Bianca's arrival on his social media accounts.
Zeballos started his career playing for La Banda and Los Dorados de Termas de Río Hondo before he came to the limelight when he joined Boca Juniors in 2014.
He made headlines in 2018 when he became the youngest person to sign a professional football contract with Boca Juniors at the age of 16.
Meanwhile, Zeballos has long been seen on the pitch as he's still recovering from a knee injury sustained in October last year.
Last year on October 23, the 21-year-old underwent surgery to repair a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and external meniscus in his right knee.
He is currently in the fifth month of recovery and has begun working on regaining his fitness.
According to local reports, the intensity of his physical tasks will increase in the coming weeks until he can resume training with the ball.
Boca Juniors confirmed on their official page that Ezequiel is fine and the operation went very well.
The club wrote: "This has already happened, it has already happened, now we have to look forward, comply with everything indicated by the doctors, and let time pass quickly so that he can wear the shirt that he has loved since the cradle again."
It is expected that Zeballos will be able to return to football action around April, approximately 4 to 6 months after the surgery.
In the statement signed by Dr. Jorge Batista, from the Medical Department of the Boca Juniors Athletic Club, it is highlighted that the "estimated time of return to competitive sports practice will be between 4 and 6 months."
Since joining the Boca junior team, Zeballos has played 46 games, scoring 6 goals and providing 6 assists.
He has also represented the Argentina International football team at various youth levels, playing 18 matches and scoring 3 goals.
