The news about the state of health of Sergio Rico, goalkeeper of Paris Saint-Germain are hopeful. The footballer, who was in serious condition after suffering a serious accident with a horse at the end of last May, has been admitted to the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville for more than a month, where he has been permanently under observation in the Care Unit Intensive. In the last few hours, the police report on the event has come to light and the reason why the animal kicked him in the head, causing head trauma and a stroke. On the other hand, his wife, Alba Silva, has given some more details about the case.
It was on May 28 when Sergio Rico’s fatal accident happened. The athlete traveled to Huelva from Strasbourg, where he had just won Ligue 1 with PSG, to participate in the El Rocío pilgrimage. While he was attending the Pontifical Mass, a garbage truck scared a colt, which violently hit the athlete. Sergio had to be admitted to the hospital urgently, with a serious diagnosis. More details have been learned about this moment after the police report came to light.
In the last hours, the judge of court number 2 of Palma del Condado has decided to dismiss the case, since the report reveals that there are no direct witnesses to the events to charge any crime. According to different testimonies, what happened at that fateful moment was that a garbage truck emptied a bucket and that scared a horse that was tied to a cart, tied to a post.
The animals in said carriage broke free and fled in terror towards the place where the doorman was, where they scared the horse that hit the doorman. However, it cannot be ensured that the goalkeeper was mounted on the animal. No one saw Sergio Rico mounted on the horse, but there are witnesses who could see the footballer lying on the ground after the serious accident he suffered.
In the last few hours, Alba Silva, the goalkeeper’s wife, who has been updating her partner’s state of health to the press in recent weeks, has revealed new information on the case. The young woman confessed to Europa Press that the moment of her fatal accident “caught her asleep” and that “we don’t really know what happened either.” “There were no witnesses and we were also waiting for the report to see if anything else was known, but we have not been able to find out much more either,” she stated.
Sergio entered the ICU in an induced coma after his fall, and he was in that state for more than 20 days in which anguish and uncertainty reigned among his followers, family and relatives. Although Rico has woken up from a coma and is improving little by little, now the controversy focuses on what really happened in the Andalusian pilgrimage. Waiting to learn more data, the most important thing is that the athlete is improving day after day.
In fact, according to the program Ya es mediodía, hosted by Joaquín Prat, the footballer no longer has neurological damage and next week he could leave the ICU. We will have to wait to find out if this finally happens, but be that as it may, the news sheds a little light on the case, which has kept relatives, loved ones, the press and all his followers in suspense.
