Sergio Rico’s family gave one of the most anticipated news, after several days in which there was hardly any news in the condition of the Sevillian goalkeeper, who had officially been removed from sedation. It was his wife, Alba Rico, who announced upon leaving the hospital that the athlete was conscious and could communicate through gestures, perhaps the most anticipated moment after almost a month of agony and struggle for his survival.
“He is taking little steps forward”, assured the Sevillian journalist, who once again could not but thank the hospital and health personnel of the Virgen del Rocío Hospital, where Rico is hospitalized.
The journalist has explained that her husband is able to communicate through these and has recognized his family, but he is still not able to speak due to the long time he has been intubated. Apparently, the goalkeeper would have damaged vocal cords, but everything will come to pass, as he continues to receive intensive care. “He is a champion,” Silva assured, excited, “I knew from the beginning that he was going to get ahead.”
Greater optimism and new strength to move forward have been the impulse received by the player’s family after this latest advance, with which they will surely breathe easier. What’s more, Silva didn’t take long to communicate his emotion through his social networks with a nice message: “You and me. Together, invincible.”
After knowing the good news, the messages of support for both the soccer player, his wife, and the couple in common did not stop happening. Phrases like “love can do everything” or “there’s less left” are just some of the expressions of affection that can be seen among the comments on his latest publications.
Some messages to which they did not hesitate to join friends of the couple such as the influencers Rocio Osorno, Natalia Osona or sports figures such as Marco Verratti, Rico’s teammate at PSG.
The Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper continues to be admitted to the ICU of the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital in Seville, where he was urgently transferred when the fatal accident occurred in El Rocío. Apparently, according to an eyewitness on the Ya es mediodía program, a garbage truck that was emptying a bucket scared some mules tied to a cart and tied to a post, close to where the goalkeeper was. The animals broke free and fled in terror, thus scaring the horse that Rico was riding, which repeatedly hit the former Sevilla player before running amok.
Since then, the player’s clinical situation has been “stable” within the severity. The goalkeeper is being treated in a multidisciplinary way by the Intensive Medicine team and other specialists from the same hospital.
