Sergio Rico, the Spain and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper, took to social media to express his gratitude as he continues his recovery from a traumatic brain injury.
The 29-year-old is under treatment at the Virgen del Rocio hospital in Seville, where he was admitted on May 28 after sustaining a head injury following an accident with a loose horse during a local festival.
