Rico suffered "a serious mishap due to a mule
cart and a horse that hit him", his family said in a statement
late on Sunday. Spanish paper Marca reported that Rico had been
riding a horse himself.
The Spaniard was given permission by PSG to take part in the
pilgrimage.
"Sergio is in good hands, fighting to recover while receiving
the best care from the medical team at the Virgen del Rocio
Hospital. We must exercise caution, especially during the next
48 hours," his family said.
"We are now awaiting medical results, which we hope will be
positive, so that we can inform you of his improvement as soon
as possible," they added.
Every spring, hundreds of thousands of devotees converge on a
shrine to pay homage to the Virgin of the Rocio in an event that
combines religious fervour and festive colour in Andalusia.
Rico, 29, joined PSG in 2020 after a season-long loan at the
capital club. He started his career with Spanish club Sevilla.
