My thoughts go out to the family of Robert Enke, the clubs he played for and the players he played with, as well as the whole of German football. He was a strong first choice to play for Germany in South Africa next summer and he will be a great loss to the team.
Enke commited suicide on Tuesday after a long battle with depression over the death of his two-year old daughter in 2006. His wife Teresa Enke said he kept his illness a secret from the public because he was afraid their eight-month old adopted daughter would be taken away.
Barcelona held a minutes silence in their last game, against Cultural Leonesa, and Tenerife will pay tribute in their next game against Sevilla a week on Sunday.
Enke will be buried on Sunday in a small ceremony close to his home following a memorial service at the Hannover stadium.
