reserve goalkeeper PSG, Sergio Rico was hospitalized after falling from a horse last Sunday, 28, in Spain. This Monday, the Spaniard’s family said that the athlete’s state of health requires “caution”, especially in the next 48 hours.
One day off after winning the French Championship title with Paris Saint-Germain, the 29-year-old Spaniard participated in a Pentecost pilgrimage in El Rocío, Spain, when he fell from a horse and was hit between the head and neck animal fur. He suffered traumatic brain injury.
Rico was taken by helicopter to the Virgen del Rocío hospital in Seville, where he was admitted to intensive care. The Spanish press says that doctors must speak within 48 hours about possible consequences of the accident.
According to the note released by the agency that takes care of Rico’s career, YouFirst, the PSG goalkeeper was on his way to mass when he suffered the accident. The radio “Cadena COPE” says that the horse would have been scared after crossing with a cart of mules.
“Sergio is in good hands, struggling to recover while receiving the best care from the medical team at Hospital Virgen del Rocio. We must exercise caution, especially in the next 48 hours. We are now waiting for the medical results, which we hope will be positive, so that we can let you know about his improvement as soon as possible. We appreciate the affection, messages of support and interest from everyone who is asking about Sergio’s condition. Thank you for your support”, says the note released by the agency.
