Cagliari star Yael Trepy has been airlifted to hospital and placed in intensive care after almost drowning in a swimming pool. The incident occurred at a mansion in Sardinia where the 20-year-old Serie A footballer was enjoying downtime following his side's Coppa Italia win over Arezzo.
Incident and Condition
Trepy, who reportedly cannot swim, was found in the deep end of the pool. Cagliari's squad had been given two days off after Friday's 1-0 victory, in which Trepy played 53 minutes before being substituted.
The club issued a statement: “Yael Trepy is currently hospitalised at the Santissima Annunziata Civil Hospital in Sassari, where he is in intensive care. The Club is in constant contact with the healthcare facility and the player’s family and is closely monitoring the progress of his condition. At this time, Cagliari Calcio’s thoughts are with Yael and his family. The Club also requests the utmost respect for their privacy and will provide any updates when available.”
Club Context
Cagliari finished 14th last season and begin their Serie A campaign at Parma on Saturday. The squad is due back in training on Monday following the two-day break.
The Frenchman played for Cagliari's youth teams before making his Serie A debut last January.
