Sergio Rico had been granted permission by PSG to travel to the El Rocio pilgrimage in Huelva, Spain, following the team’s victory against Strasbourg. Unfortunately, he was involved in an accident involving a horse and a mule cart, which led to his hospitalization. 

Rico’s family reassured them that he is in capable hands and receiving top-quality care from the medical staff at Virgen del Rocio Hospital.
