Many people thought that Sergio Rico would never be able to play professional football again. The main person concerned is convinced of the contrary.
Victim of a serious horse riding accident on May 28, Sergio Rico came close to death. The goalkeeper belonging to Paris Saint-Germain is actively continuing his convalescence. Now, he sees the end of the tunnel and is seriously considering playing again at the highest level.
“I would say I’m 90% recovered. Ultimately what I miss is being able to play sports at the highest level, because I don’t have the full measure yet, but my feeling is very good and I can’t wait to be able to play sports again, to practice my profession. What I basically do is walk so as not to exceed a limit of 130 heartbeats that I was given. When I am 100% recovered, I will return to sport to get back in shape quickly and rejoin the team”confided the Spanish goalkeeper during an interview given to DAZN.
