PSG keeper Rico leaves hospital after coma

Rico leaves after nearly three months

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Sergio Rico was discharged from hospital on Friday, almost three months after an equine accident put him in a coma with a traumatic brain injury.

The 29-year-old Spaniard has been at Seville’s Virgen del Rocio hospital since May 28 after an accident involving a horse at a local festival.

PSG coach Luis Enrique gave Rico his best wishes.
