Sergio Rico is about to leave the Virgen del Rocío hospital in Seville, after he suffered a serious accident with a horse on the Rocío pilgrimage on May 28, causing him a head injury. After more than twenty days in a coma, the Spanish goalkeeper woke up and began to communicate with the family through gestures.
His state of health was improving remarkably and after a few days we heard the news that Rico had been released from the ICU. This was a great relief for the family, who had to face very hard moments during the whole process, not knowing how the player would evolve.
Since then the goalkeeper has been recovering little by little on the ground. And despite having recently undergone an aneurysm operation, hopes that the goalkeeper could return home as soon as possible were very high on the part of the family. “We are waiting to see what the doctors say to see if it could be that we can go home soon,” said Sergio Rico’s wife, Alba Silva.
And it seems that his wishes are going to come true and finally Sergio Rico will be able to return home to continue recovering. This was revealed this Thursday by the Y ahora Sonsoles space.
As the Antena 3 program team has been able to find out exclusively, the soccer player will be discharged from hospital this Friday, August 18. The departure of the soccer player from the Virgen del Rocío hospital in Seville is scheduled to take place at noon, after three months in hospital.
This news will have been a great joy for Rico’s entire family and especially for his wife, Alba Silva, who has not separated for a moment from her husband during all this time. In addition, the model has been in charge of giving the medical report day in and day out to the media and all the goalkeeper’s followers who have been on edge all this time.
The Sevillian has also had words of gratitude for all those who have shown her their love these months, and especially all the hospital staff who have been 100 percent involved in the goalkeeper’s recovery. An example of this was her last post on her social networks, where she thanked the hospital for the initiative that allowed them to decorate the room to her liking. ”They put up a blue panel with thumbtacks for you to personalize and feel at home,” she declared.
