Professional footballer Yael Trepy in intensive care after a swimming accident

The 20-year-old professional footballer Yael Trepy from Cagliari Calcio is in intensive care after a swimming accident in Sardinia. The club said the center forward was currently being treated in a hospital in the Sardinian city of Sassari. Cagliari is in contact with the clinic and the player's family.

According to media reports, Trepy got into trouble in a swimming pool at a villa on the Costa Smeralda near Porto Cervo last weekend. As the Ansa news agency reported, he is said to not be able to swim and ended up in the deeper area of ​​the pool. He was therefore taken out of the water and taken to the hospital in a rescue helicopter.

“Forza Yael, we are all behind you.” The club did not provide any information about Trepy's exact health status and asked to respect the privacy of the player and his family. Cagliari announced that it would inform about new developments. The club wrote with a heart on Instagram: “Forza Yael, we are all behind you.”

Trepy, who was born in France, joined Cagliari's youth team in 2023, having previously played for US Créteil-Lusitanos. The striker made his debut for the club's first team at Cremonese at the beginning of the year and scored his first goal in that game. Only on Friday he was in the starting line-up for Cagliari's Coppa Italia win against Arezzo and was substituted in the 54th minute.
