'Prognosis remains guarded' - Serie A's Trepy on ventilator

Serie A's Trepy, a 20-year-old forward from Cagliari, remains in intensive care on a ventilator following a frightening incident at a Sardinian villa. The player, who was unconscious in the water, was airlifted to Santissima Annunziata Civil Hospital in Sassari on Sunday afternoon. Trepy had been out of a medically induced coma and mechanical ventilation for two days by Tuesday evening, as reported by the hospital.

Head of Emergency and Intensive Care Dr Stefania Milia stated that Trepy's condition has significantly improved, with no evident neurological deficits. Despite this, Trepy continues to receive intensive care and monitoring. The prognosis, however, is described as guarded. The incident occurred while Trepy and friends were swimming, likely due to him getting into a part of the pool where he couldn't touch the bottom.

Trepy had a brief stint in Serie A last season, making eight appearances and scoring once, after starting his youth career with Parisian side US Creteil-Lusitanos.
