Cagliari Forward Yael Trepy Extubated and Awake After Near‑Drowning

Extubation and regained consciousness suggest respiratory improvement, though clinicians say his prognosis remains guarded.

Overview

  • Trepy lost consciousness in a villa swimming pool on the Costa Smeralda over the weekend and was pulled from the water before being airlifted to Santissima Annunziata Hospital in Sassari.
  • Doctors initially placed him on a ventilator and in pharmacological sedation because scans showed large amounts of fluid in his lungs that impaired oxygen exchange.
  • On Tuesday medical staff progressively reduced sedation, stopped mechanical ventilation and extubated Trepy, who woke alert and cooperative with no evident neurological deficits.
  • He remains in intensive care under close clinical and respiratory monitoring while antibiotic treatment and further tests continue, and clinicians describe the outlook as guarded.
  • Cagliari say they are in constant contact with hospital staff and the player’s family and have asked for privacy as they monitor his recovery and assess his availability for the season ahead.
