Last Friday, August 18, the big day for soccer player Sergio Rico and his family arrived. After 83 days admitted to the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville and many weeks of uncertainty and concern, the doctors released him and he left the medical center with his wife to continue his recovery from home.
On Sunday, May 28, the Sevillian goalkeeper had an accident with a horse at the El Rocío pilgrimage and suffered a head injury. Due to this serious injury, the experts decided to induce a coma. Although there were critical moments, little by little he was improving. In total, Rico spent more than a month in the ICU until he gathered enough strength to go to the plant.
Throughout this time, the PSG player has had the unconditional support of his wife, the content creator Alba Silva, who has been by his side at all times. In addition, the young woman has always gathered strength to stay positive and to speak to the press.
After a long wait and endless tests, last Friday we witnessed how Rico left the Sevillian medical center on his own foot together with an Alba Silva who could not contain her tears of emotion.
''Good afternoon everyone and thank you. The aneurysm is not completely controlled, but you have to maintain a few more months of tranquility and calm,'' explained the athlete to clarify that the fight is not over, but that he will continue his recovery at home with his family. .
He also wanted to thank the health workers for their treatment, as well as his wife for being his fundamental pillar: ''Thank the Virgen del Rocío Hospital. To all the health personnel who are spectacular. Despite being in the hospital, we have felt at home at all times. They have treated us super well. Give thanks (also) to my wife, who above all has spent 20 hours a day with me and the truth is that I am very grateful. And without this support it would not have been possible.
Although Rico's reception at his home has remained private, Alba Silva has uploaded a photo that has greatly moved his thousands of followers. In said snapshot you can see the three dogs of the couple lying very close to the soccer player, who is sitting in an armchair. ''Inseparable,'' Silva captioned the photo.
In the background of the image you can see some balloons that indicate that the couple has celebrated the arrival of the goalkeeper at their residence in a big way, since they have been looking forward to being able to rest at home for many weeks.
