Headline: Cagliari Striker Yael Trepy Shows Improvement After Hospitalization Following Pool Incident
Cagliari and the SS Annunziata Hospital of Sassari have released a medical update concerning 20-year-old striker Yael Trepy, currently receiving treatment in the Intensive Care Unit. The hospital stated that Trepy “remains under pharmacological sedation” but has demonstrated an “improvement in respiratory function compared with the severe respiratory failure detected upon his admission.”
Trepy, a French national, was airlifted to the hospital on Sunday, August 16, following a troubling incident at a swimming pool.
“The young patient, Yael Trepy, is being treated in the Emergency and Intensive Care Unit of the SS Annunziata Hospital,” the facility explained in a statement shared on Cagliari’s official website Tuesday morning. “He remains under pharmacological sedation and is being mechanically ventilated through airway intubation, with an improvement in respiratory function compared with the severe respiratory failure detected upon his admission.”
The hospital added that Trepy is afebrile and that both antibiotic therapy and microbiological investigations are ongoing. His cardiovascular function remains stable.
The medical team noted that, following a reassessment via radiological examinations and a lung ultrasound, a gradual reduction in sedation is planned, contingent on confirming the patient’s improvement in respiratory function.
“The prognosis remains guarded,” the statement continued, indicating that any further updates would be provided only in the event of significant changes in Trepy’s clinical condition.
Cagliari Calcio also requested respect for the privacy of the player and his family, promising to share additional updates as they become available.
Trepy made his Serie A debut last season and has scored one goal in eight appearances in Italy’s top flight. Just two days prior to the incident, he played 54 minutes in a Coppa Italia match against Serie B side Arezzo, which Cagliari won 1-0.
Cagliari is set to kick off their 2026-27 Serie A season away against Parma on Saturday, August 22, at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST).
The SS Annunziata Hospital, where Yael Trepy is being treated in the Intensive Care Unit, says the Cagliari starlet ‘remains under pharmacological sedation’ but has shown an ‘improvement in respiratory function compared with the severe respiratory failure detected upon his admission.’
