Sergio Rico is evolving positively in his gravity state. This Wednesday, the intensive care team at the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital completely lifted the sedation of the PSG goalkeeper, who has been in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) since May 28. Rico suffered a hemorrhage caused by head trauma after falling off his horse at the El Rocío pilgrimage.
Despite the good news, his condition remains serious as the blows he received to the head were severe and caused serious injuries. Sergio Rico was in Huelva celebrating the league he won with PSG. The 29-year-old goalkeeper has been with the Parisian club since the summer of 2019, where he came from Sevilla, the club where he played and where he went through all the lower categories until reaching the first team in 2014. He was loaned out to PSG in 2019 and later signed for the French club in 2020 in exchange for Sevilla for €6m. He also played on loan for Fulham (18-19) and Mallorca (21-22, in the second round).

In these two weeks, Rico has received a lot of support, both from his current club, from Sevilla and from former teammates. The goalkeeper remains in intensive care, where he is looked after by a multidisciplinary team of specialists.
