Alan Pulido has been rescued

Kidnapped Mexican international Alan Pulido has been rescued by authorities following a terrifying ordeal on Saturday night.

The Olympiacos striker was reportedly attacked by six masked men as he was leaving party on Saturday night, bundled into a car and whisked away.

Federal and state forces spent Sunday searching for the missing 25-year-old, who has now been found and is undergoing medical evaluation.

“A joint operation of federal and state forces shortly before midnight on Sunday May 29 managed to rescue professional footballer Alan Pulido safe and sound,” read a statement by the Tamaulipas Coordination Group, who organised the rescue.

“He was deprived of his freedom on Saturday night May 28 in the capital city. Pulido is presently under a medical evaluation and more complete information will be given later.

“Governor Egidio Torre Cantu, who was attentive to this event, visited the player to make sure he was OK and congratulated federal and state forces for the successful operation.” KickOff.com
