The soccer player Sergio Rico suffered a terrible accident last Sunday, May 28, when he was enjoying the pilgrimage in El Rocío, Huelva. The event occurred when the PSG player was going to the mass of said celebration mounted on horseback. Due to the loud noise made by a garbage truck, the steed got scared and knocked it to the ground before kicking it in the neck.
The events have generated great controversy, since the goalkeeper's family initially assured that he was not riding the horse when the accident occurred and some media said that oxen had run over the goalkeeper. Due to the event, Rico suffered a severe head injury, for which they had to evacuate him by helicopter to the Virgen del Rocío Hospital.
Since then, the player's family and relatives have been without a life. The goalkeeper has spent 11 days sedated in the ICU in a "stable, serious condition", something difficult to bear considering that each day passed is an achievement.
After almost losing hope, it seems that the situation improved and that, according to the program It's noon, Sergio Rico would have regained consciousness after the hospital had withdrawn sedation.
The Sevillian hospital has confirmed today that the PSG goalkeeper "is progressing favourably" and that the sedation to which he was subjected has already been completely withdrawn. It should be noted that although this is a step forward, the athlete is still very serious in the UCI, so each moment can be decisive.
The young man from Seville suffered a series of head injuries that could have affected different areas of his brain, for which reason he is undergoing exhaustive control by professionals in the area.
Due to the delicate area that the soccer player was damaged, many of his fans feared the worst. After more than a week of uncertainty, doubts, tears and tributes, it seems that the player is clinging to life and the situation is gradually improving.
Alba Silva, the goalkeeper's wife, has been positive at all times in the face of the difficult time her family was going through and has even uploaded different posts to her official Instagram account in which she declared her unconditional love for Rico: "I don't Leave my love alone because I swear that I cannot, nor do I know how to live without you. We are waiting for you my life, we love you so much.
