Cagliari's Trepy in intensive care after reported pool incident

Cagliari footballer Yael Trepy is currently in intensive care at Santissima Annunziata Civil Hospital in Sassari, Sardinia. The 20-year-old was airlifted to the hospital on Sunday after losing consciousness in a swimming pool at a villa. Reports suggest Trepy and a group of friends were in the pool when he encountered difficulties.

It is believed he was unable to touch the bottom of a certain section of the pool, leading to his predicament. Cagliari's statement emphasized their constant communication with medical staff and the player's family, requesting respect for their privacy during this time. The club promised to provide updates as more information becomes available.

Trepy, who has made eight appearances in Serie A last season, joined Cagliari's academy in 2022 after his youth career with Parisian side US Creteil-Lusitanos.
