According to the source, during his hospitalisation, intensive care doctors at the Seville hospital discovered that Sergio Rico had a brain aneurysm, and because of its danger, they decided to perform surgery before they could discharge the footballer from the hospital.

In early May, Rico fell from a horse and suffered a brain injury. The footballer was in a coma for about 19 days.
