After 12 days admitted to the ICU of the Virgen del RocÃo Hospital in Seville, the Andalusian footballer Sergio Rico is improving. The athlete suffered an accident with a horse last Sunday, May 28, at the pilgrimage of El RocÃo, Huelva. After a brief examination and seeing that it was something serious, the professionals present requested that he be transferred to the medical center by helicopter.
Since then, Rico has been sedated in the ICU of the Sevillian hospital, a place where his family and friends went every day hoping to receive good news and that everything would be scared.
His wife, Alba Silva, has been present at all times during the medical process that the PSG player was undergoing. In the different statements that she gave to the press, Silva expressed that, despite the difficult situation, they were optimistic and that each day passed was “an achievement.” In addition, the young woman uploaded several publications to her official Instagram account to publicly express her love for Rico.
Yesterday, after some very hard and complicated days, the hospital gave good news to the goalkeeper’s entourage and assured that he had responded well to the withdrawal of sedation and that he was now “evolving favourably”, although he would continue in the ICU because his situation remains serious and every minute is decisive.
One day after receiving the update on her husband’s state of health, the goalkeeper’s wife has spoken to the media and has expressed that they are all hopeful with the Sevillian’s recovery and that he is improving little by little: “He responds to certain stimuli”.
Regarding her state of mind, the young Andalusian has commented that she is “fine, because she can’t be any other way” and has acknowledged that they have received many messages of support and affection for the goalkeeper: “They love him very much. It’s that they have to love Sergio”.
Although it is still early to claim victory, the situation is gradually improving and the player is getting closer to recovery every day. It should be noted that the trauma suffered by Rico could have caused severe damage to his brain, which is why we are dealing with a serious injury.
Since the damaged area in this case is so delicate and all kinds of vital faculties could be affected, medical professionals are watching the footballer day and night to try to mitigate the damage as much as possible and get him to recover normality as soon as possible.
