The good news continues to flow around the state of health of Sergio Rico. A little over a month after his accident in the Andalusian village of El Rocío, south of Seville (Spain), the second goalkeeper of Paris Saint-Germain “is much better” confirms his entourage this Saturday.
Released from the intensive care unit of the hospital after five weeks, including 19 days in a coma, Sergio Rico now communicates “perfectly”. Above all, the Spanish goalkeeper can walk into the hospital and gradually begin the rehabilitation phase.
Transferred to another department of the Sevillian establishment, Sergio Rico continues the care. According to the English media The Athleticwhich this Saturday publishes a long account of what happened to the player on May 28, he would have lost nearly 20 kilos and 30% of his muscle mass since the start of his hospitalization.
“He is doing very well”
This Friday, at the microphone of the Spanish press agency Europa Press, his wife Alba Silva had indicated that he was progressing rapidly. “He is doing very well, thank God. We are happy with its development. He is moving forward and he is doing very well, ”she said, confirming that Sergio Rico had taken a few steps in his room.
And to add: “He is evolving by leaps and bounds and they (Editor’s note: the doctors) are super happy with him. Sergio put a lot of momentum and strength into it. He is, as I have always said, a champion”. Asked about Rico’s view of the news of his club and the arrival of new coach Luis Enrique, Alba Silva, present day and night at the hospital, logically explained that the priority was elsewhere. “For now, he’s doing what he has to do, which is to recover,” she continued. It is obvious that we pass information to him from outside, but at the moment this is not his main concern. »
According to The Athletic, Sergio Rico could leave the Virgen del Rocío hospital in Seville within two weeks, but for the time being, his entourage could not confirm this deadline. The evolution of his state of health in the coming days will logically be taken into account by the doctors.
