Concern continues in the world of football for the state of health of Sergio Rico. The Sevillian goalkeeper of Paris Saint-Germain suffered an unfortunate accident during the afternoon of last Sunday. The goalkeeper, from a pilgrimage in the Huelva town of El RocÃo, was kicked in the neck by a horse when he was going to the Pontifical Mass on Sunday, suffering a head injury as a result. Now, various sources suggest that his health would be improving.
Despite having been admitted in a “severely stable” state, the Telecinco program ‘Ya es mediodÃa Fresh’ reported a slight improvement in Rico’s diagnosis. At the moment, neither the goalkeeper’s family nor the medical team at the Virgen del RocÃo hospital in Seville have communicated any news in this regard this morning, other than keeping the player under observation while waiting for the next few hours.
So far, Sergio Rico’s relatives have only issued a statement detailing the facts and the medical protocols followed. They also put all their trust in the doctors from the Seville hospital and pointed out that the next two days would be the most important: “Sergio is in good hands, fighting to recover while receiving the best care from the entire team at the Virgen del RocÃo Hospital. We must act prudently, especially in the next 48 hours.”
His family also described as best they could the sequence of events that led to the accident. The PSG goalkeeper traveled from Strasbourg, where the Parisians celebrated winning the Ligue 1 title, to the province of Huelva. There, Rico participated in the pilgrimage to El RocÃo mounted on horseback, with the intention of attending mass. However, according to local media notes, the Sevillian fell from his mount after coming across a mule cart. In the confusion, the steed struck him in the neck.
Sergio Rico’s accident has filled the networks with messages of encouragement and support, both for the player and for his family and even Paris Saint-Germain fans. The Royal Spanish Football Federation sent a message of strength to the goalkeeper, as did clubs like Tenerife or Elche. The team where he grew up, Sevilla, also left a sign of affection for him, and even fans of the great rival contributed their bit.
Several accounts linked to Real Betis, the great enemy of Sevilla in the Andalusian capital, wanted to send all possible support and put aside the intense rivalry that both clubs share. “All the strength in the world to Sergio Rico who is hospitalized for falling from a horse in El RocÃo, I hope it comes to nothing. Here the colors are put aside and that he recovers soon from a great scare â€, was the message of a Betic follower.
