The Sevillian footballer Sergio Rico continues to recover slowly but steadily at the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville, where he was admitted on May 28 after suffering an accident with a horse.
The soccer player suffered a head injury that caused a series of injuries for which the doctors decided to sedate him for weeks. Although the situation was critical and his relatives experienced a few days of absolute chaos and anguish, Rico is much better and has already left the ICU to recover on the ward, where he can be accompanied by his family and friends all day. time.
His wife and faithful life partner, Alba Silva, has been talking to the media all the time to report the last minute on the Sevillian’s state of health. Although the first few times it was distressing, the good results of the Andalusian have made Silva regain hope in the process and appear happier and more optimistic.
The situation has improved to such an extent that the footballer wanted to connect with his audience through Instagram and left a message that moved his thousands of followers: “I wanted to thank each and every one of the people who have shown me and sent their honey in these difficult days. I keep working on my recovery that is getting better every day. I feel very lucky, once again, thank you all and I hope to be able to return soon.”
As the influencer later confirmed, the message was written by Sergio Rico himself, but the Sevillian still has a long road to recovery ahead. According to medical reports, the safest thing is that they will be discharged in a matter of two weeks and that this process will be carried out from home.
“He still doesn’t know half of it, imagine. Obviously he’s super grateful, but I’m telling you, he still doesn’t know half of what has happened,” Silva explained to the media a few days ago. Although his return to football is complicated right now, the goalkeeper is focused on recovering his health. He can say that he has lost 20 kilos in just over a month, so he is also weak and must gain muscle mass.
During these weeks much has been said about the day Rico suffered the accident. Although many assured that it was a classic fall from a horse, a witness spoke on the Atresmedia program Y Ahora, Sonsoles and confirmed what happened. A garbage truck scared some mules, which fled in terror in the direction of the place where the porter was and scared the horse. Due to the tension, the animal repeatedly hit the athlete, something that could have cost him his life.
