The state of health of Sergio Rico continues to give something to talk about two months after his admission. The Paris Saint-Germain soccer player had to be transferred to the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville on May 28, due to an accident in which he was kicked in the head by a horse. Although the goalkeeper had been transferred to the plant and was going to be discharged this past weekend, another setback delayed the end of his problems: a brain aneurysm.
Alba Silva, the wife of the Sevillian goalkeeper, has given a new update this Wednesday morning on the condition of her partner. Rico will have to undergo surgery in the next few hours on this small protrusion in an artery in the brain, an unusual dilation that could cause bleeding if it ruptures. The young journalist assured that the medical team is in charge of the situation and she will have the last word on what happens with this inconvenience.
“The doctors are the ones who decide and little by little he is moving forward,” Silva assured the Europa Press microphones. Similarly, the goalkeeper’s wife is confident that everything will be fine and that Sergio will be able to be out of the hospital in the coming weeks. “He is on the floor, little by little, slowly, but trying to improve a little every day,” she recently assured her, when she waited for her husband to be discharged last week.
In the same way, the march of Sergio Rico was stopped by the doctors of the Sevillian hospital, with the intention of carrying out more tests. The initial idea was to postpone his return to Paris and continue his rehabilitation in the Andalusian capital, with the help of the physiotherapy team at the medical center. A delay in his return to PSG that did not prevent his teammates from sending him support, like Neymar: “We miss you, friend. Strength and come back soon because I want to score goals for you”.
Beyond the medical problems, the accident investigation also raised questions. It all happened during the El Rocío Pilgrimage festivities: while he was attending the Pontifical Mass, a garbage truck scared a horse, which violently hit the footballer. The police report surprised by revealing that there were no direct witnesses to the incident, but the decision to dismiss the case raised the voice of other versions that could have reconstructed what happened.
Several people who were near the place assured that the truck scared another foal, which was tied to a cart with other animals. The group broke free and fled in terror towards the place where the goalkeeper was, where they initially scared the horse that hit him. However, it cannot be confirmed that the goalkeeper was mounted on the animal. Nobody saw Sergio Rico mounted on the horse, only lying on the ground after the blow.
