Sergio Rico's condition on Tuesday remains "without significant changes" since Monday's medical report, which indicated that he was stable within gravity and sedated in the ICU of the hospital in Seville, attended by specialists in Intensive Care Medicine and pending clinical evolution in the coming days.
The goalkeeper received several kicks to the head from a horse once he was on the ground, according to eyewitnesses who told the Andalusian Emergency Service 112, in an incident which, according to 'EFE', took place at around 8.30am when several reports were sent out of the fall of a horseman in the street Camino de Moguer in the village of Almonte.
From 112, the Guardia Civil and 061 were alerted, and the goalkeeper received initial medical assistance from the Centro de Emergencias Sanitarias installed in the village, which transported him by helicopter, in a serious condition, to the Hospital Virgen del Rocio.
The 29-year-old goalkeeper, who came through the youth ranks at Sevilla, where he was in the first team from 2014-15 to 2018-19, was in the squad for his side's penultimate Ligue 1 game on Saturday, playing at Strasbourg, where they drew 1-1 to win the tournament.
The goalkeeper, after his time at Sevilla, had a spell at Fulham in England, was then signed by PSG, who loaned him out to Real Mallorca last season, before returning to the Parisian team this season, where he is a regular substitute.
