The French skier, treated in Italy, could be repatriated to France this Friday. It’s difficult to say, however, how long he will be stationary. His rehabilitation promises to be long.
Cyprien Sarrazin’s medical assessment is somewhat reassuring following his heavy fall during training in Bormio last week, and he should be able to be repatriated to France on Friday, the French ski federation announced on Thursday. However, the road to a return still looks very long.
The 30-year-old champion had to be operated on the same evening to drain an intracranial hematoma. His condition is stable and he has been released from the intensive care unit, the federation said. He is now hospitalized in “a care unit”. “A long period of recovery and then rehabilitation is now underway and the duration of his unavailability is currently undetermined,” she noted, adding however that “the rest of the medical assessment (painful foot and knee) is very reassuring and, despite the violence of the shock, no other lesions were noted. »
Cyprien Sarrazin could be repatriated to France on Friday, after having had an MRI on December 31. He will then be hospitalized in the neurosurgery department of a private establishment in Lyon, according to the French team doctor, Stéphane Bulle.
