Cagliari have confirmed that 20-year-old forward Yael Trepy is in intensive care after nearly drowning in a swimming pool in northern Sardinia. The French striker was taken to the Santissima Annunziata Hospital in Sassari following the incident, which occurred on Sunday afternoon at a villa in Porto Cervo during the squad's weekend off.
Italian reports said Trepy got into difficulty while swimming during his time off and was rescued before being airlifted to Santissima Annunziata Civil Hospital in Sassari. He remains in intensive care and has reportedly been placed in an induced coma as doctors treat his condition. Cagliari have not disclosed detailed medical information, while reports about his condition should be treated cautiously as the club continues to respect the player's privacy.
Cagliari released a statement confirming Trepy's hospitalisation without detailing the exact circumstances of the incident. "Cagliari Calcio announces that the player Yael Trepy is currently hospitalised at the Santissima Annunziata Civil Hospital in Sassari, where he is in intensive care," the club said. "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, all of Cagliari Calcio's thoughts are with Yael and his family." The club has asked that the player's privacy be respected and said further updates will be provided as they become available.
Trepy, born in 2006, came through the youth system at US Créteil before joining Cagliari and made eight Serie A appearances for Cagliari, scoring once. He had started for Cagliari in their Coppa Italia win over Arezzo on Friday before the squad were given the weekend off, during which the incident took place. He had been due to rejoin training on Monday afternoon.
