The ongoing concern around Sergio Rico, the goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain, centers on the serious injuries he sustained in a tragic incident in El Rocío on Sunday. Reports have varied, but it is broadly stated that the Sevilla-born player was riding a horse when it bolted and he delivered a blow to the animal’s head as it fled. He was rapidly intubated and airlifted to the Virgen del Rocío hospital in Seville. He sustained a head injury with cerebral hemorrhage and is currently in intensive care.
In a public update issued by the medical center on Monday, doctors underscored the critical nature of the next hours and the need to monitor his condition closely. The statements described Rico as stable under the influence of sedation, with a medical team from Intensive Medicine providing ongoing care while awaiting further clinical developments. The physicians indicated that a sequence of tests would be performed as they evaluate the best course of action in the days ahead.
Visits to the Intensive Care Unit remain highly restricted, but his family and wife are consistently at his side. Alba Silva has publicly discussed the events and the emotional toll of the accident, noting that Sergio Rico has received a large amount of support since the incident. She conveyed gratitude for the messages and prayers and described him as strong, while thanking supporters for their affection.
Subsequently, Alba shared a tender image of Rico kissing her, accompanying the message, I love you, with a simple line that emphasized her unwavering support for her husband amidst the difficult moments when the athlete’s life is in the balance. The post highlighted the importance of shared affection during a period marked by uncertainty about Rico’s recovery.
Shortly after, the influencer posted a message addressing the doorman, reflecting on a wedding-day memory that holds deep significance for the couple. In that message, she expressed a plea not to be left alone and acknowledged the impact of that photo on their relationship, describing how much they love each other and how much they need one another as they wait for his improvement. The note was described as a heartfelt appeal during a time of serious health concerns for the goalkeeper.
Experts and fans alike remain attentive to Rico’s condition, understanding that any improvement in the coming hours will be a pivotal factor in shaping the trajectory of his recovery and the medical decisions that follow.
