There are signs of improvement for Yael Trepy, the 20-year-old French Cagliari striker who nearly drowned in the swimming pool of a villa on the Costa Smeralda on Sunday evening, hospital sources said Tuesday saying he was still in the intensive care unit. Trepy remains hospitalized in the Emergency Intensive Care Unit at the Santissima Annunziata Hospital in Sassari. According to the Sassari University Hospital report, the player is still under pharmacological sedation and receiving artificial ventilation via airway intubation, with respiratory function improving compared to the severe insufficiency noted upon admission. Trepy has no fever, and is continuing with antibiotic therapy and microbiological tests. His cardiovascular function is stable. Today, the AOU continues, following a reassessment of the patient's respiratory condition with radiological and pulmonary ultrasound scans, and if the patient's respiratory condition is consolidated, the sedation will be gradually reduced, with a reassessment of the patient's clinical response. The prognosis remains guarded. Teammates, coaching staff, the club, and fans remain close to the French striker. There have been numerous expressions of affection and encouragement on social media. His coach, Fabio Pisacane, also expressed his support. "For four years, I've watched you grow, fight, and overcome every obstacle," was the message sent by the Rossoblu coach. "Today you face your most important match: keep fighting, Yael. I'm by your side as always, and I'm waiting for you." ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © Copyright ANSA
