The weeks pass and the news finally begins to be reassuring on the side of Sevilla, about the state of health of Sergio Rico. Victim of a serious horse accident at the end of May, the Spanish goalkeeper of Paris Saint-Germain has indeed just experienced a major stage this Wednesday. “Sergio Rico has been released from the intensive care unit of the Virgen del Rocio Hospital,” the Sevillian establishment wrote in a press release.
The caretaker will be able to move to another floor of the hospital where he “will continue to be followed and receive nursing care”, adds the hospital, which will inform of his condition when there is “significant news”.
Placed under sedation and respiratory assistance at the end of May
Last week, the hospital had indicated that the player was conscious and that he could communicate, confirming what his wife had indicated to the media. The 29-year-old Spanish goalkeeper was taken to Virgen del Rocio Hospital on May 28 after suffering a traumatic brain injury following a riding accident during the El Rocio pilgrimage in Andalusia .
He had been placed under sedation and life support. Sergio Rico, who joined PSG in 2019, received many tributes, including that of the public at the Parc des Princes, who chanted his name throughout PSG’s last match of the season against Clermont in early June.
