Posted Wednesday, November 30, 2016 by Marca.com
The plane tragedy which hit the Brazilian football team Chapecoense on Tuesday morning killed 75 people among 81 people on board, and a few players that were left out of the Copa Sudamericana were counting their blessings.
Excluding the players not called up, only three players among six survivors on board were found safe.
The nine non-travelling players include Marcelo Boeck and Alejandro Martinuccio.
The former is the team's third goalkeeper, who was loaned by Sporting CP, and he did not leave Brazil because he was planning on celebrating his birthday, his agent revealed.
Meanwhile, Martinuccio was not called for the match due to an injury.
The other players who were not on board are Moises, Nivaldo, Rafael Lima, Nenem, Demerson, Andrei, Hyoran.
The coach's son Matheus Saroli also did not take off because he forgot his passport.
