Paris Saint-Germain informed, this Tuesday afternoon, its partners and all guests of the cancellation of the gala dinner of the Foundation and the Endowment Fund scheduled for the same evening. The decision was taken by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of the club and the Foundation due to the worrying state of health of goalkeeper Sergio Rico.
"The current situation requires our full attention and forces us to forego our traditional gala," the president wrote. The great family of Paris Saint-Germain is deeply touched by the tragedy that affects Sergio Rico and his loved ones. On behalf of all the teams of the club, I want to assure them of our full support and my deepest sympathy in this event. The Foundation and Endowment Fund Gala Dinner, the seventh edition of which was scheduled for tonight, is the annual event to present the results obtained through its programs throughout the season.
Sergio Rico remains hospitalized in Seville, Andalusia, where his health has not seen "significant changes" in the last 24 hours. The situation is considered worrying while the second goalkeeper of PSG is in intensive care, victim of a head trauma during a horse accident, as claimed by PSG, which occurred Sunday morning in El Rocío.
In a statement that we were able to consult this Tuesday noon, the health facility says: "The patient is still admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital, after suffering a head injury. He is cared for by intensive care specialists and continues under sedation."
