Good news for Sergio Rico: the goalkeeper would have woken up after removing the sedation

Good news arrives from the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville, and it is that according to the Telecinco program 'Ya es mediodía Fresh', the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Sergio Rico would have regained consciousness. This happens after in the last hours the doctors removed the sedation of the goalkeeper, who had been hospitalized since May 28 due to a spectacular accident in El Rocío, Huelva.

The Sevillian suffered a head injury while participating in the Huelva town pilgrimage. Rico traveled from Strasbourg, where PSG was proclaimed Ligue 1 champion, to El Rocío to be present at the festivities. While he was going to the Pontifical Mass on horseback, a garbage truck scared the colt, which violently threw the porter to the ground on the rebound. Frightened and confused, the steed ended up kicking him in the neck.

As reported by the Mediaset program, Rico would currently be awake, but the hospital's medical team would continue to analyze his evolution, seeing how he reacts in the next few hours. Beyond this last point, there is still no information other than that provided by the Virgen del Rocío communiqués.

This great news comes after the goalkeeper's partner, Alba Silva, confirmed that Rico stopped being sedated yesterday afternoon. “The doctors are seeing how he reacts and they have to be aware. We are a little expectant to see how it goes, ”commented his wife before the advance. The process would be carried out gradually, with the intention of checking if his body reacts positively to the stimuli.

Since the accident occurred, the world of football has paid many heartfelt tributes to the Sevillian goalkeeper, hoping that he will recover. The first of these was Sevilla, the club where Rico grew up, he stepped onto the pitch of the Púskas Arena in Budapest with a goalkeeper's shirt, just before winning his seventh Europa League. Paris Saint-Germain also joined in the gestures, with a series of actions that accompanied their last game of the season in Ligue 1.

During the duel against Clermont last Saturday, the players took to the pitch with the goalkeeper's name on their shirts. The Parque de los Príncipes stands also prepared a spectacular typhus with which to send encouragement to their goalkeeper. To make matters worse, the Andalusian Sergio Ramos opened the scoring in the 16th minute, just when massive applause was expected. Kilian Mbappé scored from a penalty three minutes later, and also displayed a jersey of the goalkeeper to the sky of Paris.
