PSG goalkeeper Sergio Rico traveled to Malaga last Saturday with the club’s permission to witness El Rocío in person, a trip that allowed him to reconnect with family and friends on Sunday morning. During that morning, an unexpected incident occurred when a runaway horse blocked his path, causing a serious blow.
The injury required urgent medical attention. Rico was evacuated immediately and transported by helicopter to Virgen del Rocío Hospital, where he remains under careful observation. His family opted to share updates about his health through a statement released via the agency You First, which represents Sergio Rico.
In a formal message accompanying the post, the medical team stressed the need for caution while discussing Rico’s recovery. They highlighted that the next 48 hours are crucial and noted that several diagnostic tests are underway to determine the full extent of his condition.
While emphasizing that future information would be communicated to followers as soon as it becomes available, the family expressed gratitude for the support shown in the hours following the incident. They acknowledged the public interest in Rico’s status and chose to be transparent with the limited information currently known. The outlook remains cautious, and an extended period of monitoring is anticipated as Rico progresses through the initial days of recovery.
