Overview
- Meneses suffered a fall during a televised physical challenge on Esto es guerra that fractured two vertebrae and required emergency hospital treatment.
- Surgeons performed a spinal operation that family statements describe as successful and post‑op imaging shared by Meneses shows metal fixation described in local reports as eight screws.
- Since surgery he has begun rehabilitation, publicly posting a radiograph and a video of himself walking slowly with help from his partner Sirena Ortiz while still admitted to a clinic.
- His father, Javier Meneses, said the recovery will take 'several months' without physical activity and made clear medical checks will determine whether he can return to the show or resume playing football.
- The high‑profile accident has drawn strong social media attention and could prompt closer scrutiny of safety on the program’s physical challenges as the rehabilitation and prognosis continue to develop.
