"He is in serious condition," a PSG spokesman said.
According to the daily Marca, the Spanish international is in a stable condition.
Suffering from traumatic brain injury, Rico was flown by helicopter to Seville's Virgen del Rocio hospital, where he was placed on life support, according to local television channel Canal Sur and Spanish news agency EFE, which had access to medical sources.
Present on the bench Saturday night in Strasbourg for the match that crowned PSG champion of France, the Spanish goalkeeper was in Andalusia Sunday morning, where he was the victim of this riding accident near his home, at the El Rocio festivals, in Huelva (southwestern Spain), according to the same media.
EFE quotes the player's entourage indicating that Rico did not fall from a horse but that he was hit in the neck with his hoof.
