He kept the entire football world in suspense and luckily, little by little, he is moving forward. Just when a historic in the post like Edwin Van der Sar was hospitalized for a cerebral hemorrhage, more details of the state of Sergio Rico, who is recovering from an accident that was not fatal by a few centimeters.
It turns out that at the end of May, when PSG closed the Ligue 1 title, the squad was released to carry out the expected festivities and the goalkeeper decided to fly to his native Spain. Rico headed to El Rocío, a small village in Andalusia, where riding a horse nearly cost him his life. He suffered significant head and neck injuries after being trampled by an equine.
There were 36 long days in intensive care, with 19 days in a coma. Her family and friends endured an agonizing wait in search of signs that she would survive, so that her recovery finally began this Friday in a common room at the Virgen del Rocío hospital in Seville in Spain.
The head injury he suffered was serious and still under observation, The Athletic published a series of testimonies and details about how the accident occurred and the consequences it left on the Spaniard.

The aforementioned newspaper reported that Rico was “desperate” to attend a religious event in El Rocío, where the deceased are usually fired (enhanced by the death of his father). A close friend of Rico’s told The Athletic that, earlier the previous week, he had made a special request to PSG for extra time after the Strasbourg game, but it was turned down. In turn, they clarified that when the title was finalized, they loosened up and gave him a free hand for his trip.
Another complication that he had in the previous one was that he could not find available flights to the Seville airport, the most practical option, so he went to Getafe and made a three-hour drive to attend the event. He arrived at his destination, spent the night with his wife, and the next day misfortune occurred.

According to The Athletic, with access to the report presented by the local police, Rico left the house and returned to the horse that had caused him an accident sometime after 8 am “Shortly after, a donkey that was tied up on the other side of the street he suddenly became so agitated that he let go. The commotion as he ran off, pulling a wagon behind him, caused Rico’s horse to rear up on its hind legs and it is believed that he fell off,” the statement said.
The goalkeeper received a blow to the head and neck. His spinal cord was not damaged, but doctors later said that if the injury had been half a centimeter deeper, he would have died instantly.

He was quickly assisted, although it took half an hour for emergency personnel to arrive. They transferred him to the intensive care unit, where he was sedated, intubated, and stabilized. Another revealing detail was the team. Many of his PSG teammates, meanwhile, called the family concerned about what they were hearing, including Sergio Ramos, born in Seville and whose wife is also a regular at the religious festival.
And now? As a result of the blow, the goalkeeper had many complications, but the doctor who treated him in intensive care managed to get him through. The said report clarifies that Rico lost over 20kg and each week in the ICU resulted in a loss of muscle capacity of approximately 30%.
PSG asked for Rico.
The Spanish goalkeeper does not suffer from neurological problems. After coming out of the coma, he quickly became aware of his surroundings, began to breathe on his own, and began to gesticulate. He even began to communicate with his eyes when he couldn’t even speak.
