Morante is discharged and is now traveling to Seville with a stop in Lisbon.
Morante de la Puebla has already been discharged from hospital and has been traveling in his van to Seville since before noon, although he intends to spend the night in Lisbon after a surgeon who is a friend of Pedro Jorge Marques, the bullfighter's manager, examines the condition of the wound.
The bullfighter spent a peaceful night, fever-free, although with the discomfort associated with the goring he suffered yesterday afternoon, Sunday, in Pontevedra. His first bull turned him over when Morante insisted with the muleta that he obey a chest pass; the animal caught him in the upper third of the right thigh and caused a clean wound with two trajectories, which the bullring's medical team classified as serious.
After being treated in the infirmary, he was transferred to Quirón-Pontevedra Hospital, where he was discharged a few hours later and is now on his way to Seville.
According to the bullfighter's manager, they have opted to make the trip in the bullfighter's own van, which has a bed, and the return trip will take place through Portugal, with the intention of stopping in Lisbon so the injured man can be examined by a surgeon.
The planned plan is to continue the journey to Seville tomorrow, Tuesday, morning.
Regarding the bullfighter's return, his manager remains cautious and unhurried: "Everything will depend on the recovery period José Antonio requires."
