Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Sergio Rico has been hospitalized with a head injury after a horse-riding accident in Spain.

Rico, 29, was back in his native Spain in El Rocio following the French champions' confirmation of their 11th Ligue 1 title, a historic feat.

According to Daily Mail, the accident happened near the southern Spanish city of Seville - where Rico used to play for Sevilla - with Radio Cope reporting that Rico's condition was serious.

The report further states that the former Sevilla custodian was involved in a collision with another horse and fell before taking a blow in the head region which required him to be airlifted to hospital in Seville.

Mbappe shows softer side

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe displayed a softer version of himself after accidentally hitting a female fan in the face during Paris Saint-Germain's warm-up session on Saturday.

Despite not being on the scoresheet, Mbappe played a pivotal role in PSG's record 11th French Ligue 1 title - providing the assist for Lionel Messi's title-defining goal against Strasbourg.

According to Mirror, while his on-field contribution was undeniable, it was his pre-match gesture that has since reverberated across the internet.

Tension between Mbappe and PSG?

In a separate publication, Sports Brief also reported on another chapter in Paris Saint Germain, and Kylian Mbappe's never-ending drama seems to be brewing this summer. This time, it is Mbappe that is in the headlines instead of Lionel Messi or Neymar Jr.

The player is going to be out of contract with PSG in 2024, and right now, he does not seem to be close to signing an extension, despite being their best player and the centre of their project.

If he doesn't exercise the extension, he could leave for free next season, something that PSG won't even want to imagine.
