And his partner Alba Silva shared a heartbreaking and desperate message on social media, 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.”

Another post read: “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.”

Rico was airlifted to hospital on Sunday morning after falling off his horse in Spain.

Reports claim that he suffered severe head trauma which meant he had to be intubated upon his arrival at the Virgen del Rocío hospital in Seville.

Rico joined PSG in a £5.2million transfer from Sevilla in 2020 after a 14-year spell with the Spanish side and a year on loan at Fulham in 2018-19.

He has made just 24 appearances for the French giants since joining but has not played a match this season.

PSG claimed another Ligue 1 title on Saturday following a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg.

Rico was given permission to head back to his hometown in Spain following the success was wrapped up.

A family statement on Sunday said: “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.

“We are awaiting the results of his medical evolution which we hope will be favourable so we are able to tell you about his improvement as soon as possible.”
