FORMER Paris Saint-Germain star Ezequiel Lavezzi has been hospitalised after he reportedly suffered an abdominal wound.
Reports in South America say the ex-Argentina forward was taken to the Cantegrill Sanatorium hospital by Punta del Este, Uruguay on Wednesday.
But conflicting reports have emerged regarding the circumstances how he got the wound.
A report from TYC Sports claims Lavezzi family sources said he received the wound when he slipped off a ladder while trying to change a light bulb.
However, El Observador say police sources have said the 38-year-old was stabbed by a family member during a party in Jose Ignacio when emergency services were requested at 5am on Wednesday.
Their report also alleges the alleged stabbing occurred over a “money” matter.

However, a report from Clarin indicates local police have not confirmed a stabbing incident.
The outlet writes: “There is still no official report from the clinic and the severity of the 38-year-old former soccer player’s condition is unknown.”
All reports say that Lavezzi has a broken collarbone from the incident, with the former report saying this came from him hitting a piece of furniture during the fall.
FM Gente report he has been admitted to hospital alongside his girlfriend.
