Sergio Rico Discharged From Intensive Care 38 Days After Horse Riding Accident
Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Sergio Rico has been discharged from intensive care 38 days after being critically injured by a horse racing accident.
Rico, 29, suffered serious injuries when he was struck by a loose horse while on a pilgrimage in the El Rocio region of Spain in May.
A statement published by Seville's Virgen del Rocio Hospital on Wednesday read: "Sergio has been discharged from ICU where he was under close surveillance.
"He has been admitted to the ward, where he will continue to receive medical and nursing care from another team of specialists."
Rico joined PSG in 2019 when he transferred from Sevilla.
The one-time Spain international had been at Sevilla since joining the club's youth ranks in 2006.
His former club celebrated Wednesday's positive news by tweeting: "Sergio Rico has left the ICU and has now been transferred to the general ward. We couldn't be happier: Keep going, Sergio!"
