On Sunday, May 28, the life of soccer player Sergio Rico and his family stopped when the athlete suffered an accident with a horse in the pilgrimage of El Rocío, Huelva. According to his family, the PSG player had received permission from the club to participate in the pilgrimage and had traveled the night before, after playing in Strasbourg.
After a first assessment in the Huelva municipality, the doctors detected that it was something serious and transferred the Sevillian by helicopter to the Virgen del Rocío Hospital, where they explored him and detected that he had suffered a head injury.
Since that day, Rico has been in the ICU of the Andalusian hospital "stable within gravity", a very difficult situation full of uncertainty that has caused his entire family to live an absolute nightmare.
The goalkeeper's wife, Alba Silva, has spoken to the media on various occasions to express that they are having a very bad time, but that they are positive about the player's recovery: "Every day counts." To express her unconditional love for Rico, the young woman uploaded several posts to her official Instagram profile: "Don't leave me alone, my love, because I swear I can't, nor do I know how to live without you. We are waiting for you my life, we love you so much.
Throughout this tough process, both Alba Silva and the rest of the footballer's family and friends have been receiving hundreds of messages of love from the player's fans, who have not hesitated to send their best wishes and Prayers to Rico
The one who has also wanted to record on social networks what she wants to the goalkeeper and his wife is Rocío Silva, sister of Alba Silva and sister-in-law of the soccer player. Although a few days ago he uploaded a photo of Rico with his son and asked him to "fight like a titan" and expressed that "they were waiting for him", Silva yesterday uploaded an exciting publication highlighting the strength of his sister.
''I have never seen such courage, such tireless struggle and despite all this strength and positivity to face a new day. You have always been seen as a united and in love couple and if you are making something clear to us now it is the infinite love you feel for your husband. Dad was not wrong when he said that you were a little angel that had fallen from heaven, "Rocío Silva wrote to her life partner.
The singer ended the letter expressing how much she admires her sister and stating that she is sure that everything will get better: "All this bad streak will pass and the calm that you need so much and that we need so much will come, I'm sure of it, you already know You have shown God that you are a good warrior.''
As reported by the Sevillian hospital yesterday, Rico has responded favorably to the withdrawal of sedation and is conscious, although the situation continues to be critical and every minute can be decisive.
The Andalusian player continues to be admitted to the UCI "evolving favourably", which has given the family much joy and hope after more than 10 days of uncertainty, fear and regret.
