"I keep working on my recovery, that is getting better every day. I feel very lucky. Once again, thank you all and I hope to see you soon." </p>

Rico played for Sevilla, having a loan spell at Fulham in 2018-19 and then another at PSG in 2019-20, before joining the latter club permanently in 2020. </p>
