Matheus Silva

A professional soccer player nearly drowned at Zephyr Cove Resort on Tuesday.

San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Matheus Silva was listed in critical but stable condition at Renown Medical Center in Reno on July 4.

The team issued a statement saying the 20-year-old received “life-saving resuscitation measures” after being pulled from the water.

The 6-foot-2 Brazilian has been on loan to the Earthquakes’ United Soccer League affiliate Reno 1868 FC for most of this season.
