Former Sevilla, Real Mallorca and current Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Sergio Rico has left the intensive care unit after over a month of treatment.
Rico was in Andalusia after being given some time off by PSG, and was involved in a horse-riding accident, leading to severe head trauma. He underwent surgery immediately after being air-lifted to a hospital in Seville, and had been in the intensive care unit since.
However he has finally been declared stable enough to leave the ICU and move onto a ward, as per Cadena SER. They go on to detail that Rico is now in a position where he is able to stand up again, and can begin the rehabilitation phase, a major development given his life was hanging in the balance some weeks ago.
The 29-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan art Mallorca, and came through the academy to reach the first team at Sevilla. He has also had a spell at Fulham before reaching PSG.
