The state of health of Sergio Rico has been cause for concern in the world of football and today in Spain. Since last May 28, the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper has been admitted to the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville. The reason was a kick that he received in the head from a horse in the Huelva town of El Rocío. This morning, in addition, another setback was added to his recovery, in the form of an aneurysm.
The footballer underwent surgery this Wednesday morning, something that his wife Alba Silva was able to corroborate before the microphones of Europa Press. And the first news that arrives after the intervention is positive. As reported by the Fresh section of Ya es mediodía on Telecinco, the operation had gone wonderfully. Very positive information that solves one of the obstacles that prevented him from being discharged two weeks ago.
The Sevillian footballer had an appointment at nine in the morning for the operation to begin, which lasted about an hour. On leaving the surgical room, the doctors confirmed that there was nothing out of the ordinary and that the intervention had gone excellently. Rico is back at his plant, where he settled after leaving the ICU at the beginning of July. A detail that is unusual in this type of situation.
“We have a lot of trust in the professionals from Virgen del Rocío and, well, I'm sure it's going to go well. The doctors have told us that everything is going to go well and everyone is waiting for that”, Alba Silva explained this morning before the microphones of Europa Press. The young journalist was spotted by reporters first thing in the morning, after leaving the waiting room to take a break. The goalkeeper's wife wanted Rico to be discharged soon after this setback.
And it is that the operation to which the Parisian player has been subjected this morning should not affect his recovery. According to explanations accredited by the URAC, a brain aneurysm is "a weak area in the wall of a blood vessel that causes it to protrude or bulge." The operation to resolve this drawback consisted of plugging the dilated area to prevent it from causing possible bleeding in the event of rupture.
While waiting to be discharged and temporarily rest in the city of Seville, the team for which Sergio Rico plays continues to remember him. Paris Saint-Germain has been closely monitoring the goalkeeper's state of health, and the members of the squad have not hesitated to send him messages of encouragement. One of the most relaxed has been that of Neymar. The Brazilian striker published a joint photograph of the squad and a fun text, hoping to score goals again.
