While Sergio Rico, the substitute goalkeeper of PSG, is still hospitalized in a serious condition, victim of a serious head trauma after being hit by a horse Sunday in Andalusia, his wife Alba Silva published a message on his Instagram account.
On a black background, preceding a visual of the hugging couple, the young woman posted in Spanish the following message: "Thank you for all the love you have for us. Sergio has many people praying for him and he is very strong. I have no words to describe how I feel. »
Alba Silva concludes her message by inviting the press to measure in her treatment of the drama that strikes her couple. "I simply ask for respect from the media who give unverified information," she wrote.

At the hospital in Seville after the accident on Sunday, the Spanish goalkeeper of PSG, Sergio Rico, received visitors on Monday as reported by the Spanish media ElDesmarque. Indeed, his teammate Carlos Soler and Pepe Castro, president of his training club, Sevilla FC, were seen near the Virgen del Rocio hospital.
As a reminder, the player would have been hit by a horse the day after the officialization of the coronation of PSG in Ligue 1, in the south of Spain, at El Rocio. "He was on his way to the papal mass next to the hermitage when he had an incident with a mule cart and a packed horse," the statement said.
Very quickly, the young man was transported to the hospital in a condition deemed "serious". Many supporters from his teammates have poured in since the announcement of his hospitalization, including those of Nuno Mendes and Kylian Mbappé Sunday night during the UNFP trophy ceremony. PSG also posted a message on its social networks, announcing that they were staying in touch with the player's relatives.
Sergio Rico had become Gianluigi Donnarumma's replacement since the departure of Keylor Navas. He has not played a single game for PSG this season.
