On May 28, Sergio Rico came close to death and put all football fans on alert. As a reminder, the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper suffered a head trauma following a fall from a horse. Placed in a coma for 22 days, the Spaniard underwent surgery following a brain aneurysm before leaving the Virgen Del Rocio hospital in Seville last August to return to an almost normal life, without serious consequences. A few months later, his wife, Alba Silva, revealed new details about his terrible accident.
“It’s amazing how life can change in a matter of seconds. When I arrived I found Sergio (Rico) on the ground and I was nervous. No one wanted me to go near him. The rescuers did not want to let me ride with him in the ambulance but we, with the children, headed towards the Del Rocio hospital unit anyway. The doctors called us because there were complications. I don’t want to remember it because it was the hardest time of my life. My soul was in suspense”she confessed before asserting that she always believed that her husband was going to survive even when the doctors warned him that his vital prognosis was in jeopardy, comments reported by Marca.
