Sergio Rico’s wife, Alba Silva, begged him not to leave her alone after releasing a worrying update on the health of the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper who fell off a horse.
Rico’s wife shared the heartbreaking and devastating message on Instagram, suggesting Rico is struggling to recover.
She said, “Don’t leave me alone, my love, because I swear I cannot. I don’t know how to live without you. We love you a lot.”
She also thanked the family and friends of the goalkeeper, saying, “Thank you for all the love you have for us.
“Sergio has a lot of people praying for him, and he is very strong. I have no words to describe what I feel.”
However, his family has released a statement on the incident. The statement read: “After a little over an hour and a half with his family and friends, he was heading to High Mass by the hermitage at El Rocio when he suffered an accident because of a cart with mules and a runaway horse that struck him.”
“Sergio is in good hands, fighting to get better while he receives the best care from the medical team at Virgin del Rocio Hospital. We must act with precaution, especially in the next 48 hours.”
The family continued, saying, “We are awaiting the results of his medical evolution, which we hope will be favorable, so we are able to tell you about his improvement as soon as possible.”
