Sergio Rico, the goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain, has been discharged from intensive care, as confirmed by a hospital report on Wednesday.
He is currently undergoing further treatment at the Virgen del Rocio hospital in Seville, where he was admitted on May 28 following a traumatic brain injury caused by an incident involving a horse during a local festival.
“Sergio Rico has been discharged from the ICU … where he was under close surveillance and monitoring during the five weeks he has been cared for by the Intensive Care team, along with other specialists,” said the hospital in a report sent to media.
“As of today, he has been admitted to the ward, where he will continue to receive medical and nursing care from another team of specialists at the hospital.”
After being in a coma, Sergio Rico has shown signs of progress in his recovery. According to reports, last week he regained consciousness and started communicating again.
Rico, who hails from Sevilla, had previously won the Europa League twice with his hometown club. Following a loan stint, he joined Paris Saint-Germain on a permanent basis in 2020.
