Chapecoense plan crash survivor Alan Ruschel reveals late seat swap may have saved his life in plane tragedy: 'Only God can explain why I survived the accident'

Chapecoense defender Alan Ruschel say he owes his survival to God after moving seats while on board the flight during last month's disastrous plane crash, adding that he hopes to be playing again soon.

Ruschel was sitting near the back of the plane when club director Cadu Gaucho asked him to move on the journey to play in the Copa Sudamericana final.

'Cadu Gaucho asked me to sit further forward and let the journalists sit together at the back,' Ruschel said at his first news conference since the November 28 accident.
