Yael Trepy leaves hospital after near-drowning in Sardinia

Cagliari's French forward Yael Trepy has been discharged from hospital after nearly drowning in a swimming pool in Porto Cervo, northern Sardinia, earlier in August, the Serie A club said Friday.

Professor Pietro Pirina, director of clinical and interventional pneumology at the hospital in Sassari, said in a statement published by Cagliari that Trepy was discharged in "overall good clinical conditions" after a recovery during his hospital stay.

Pirina said tests showed an improving picture, allowing the 20-year-old to return home safely.

Trepy came close to drowning on August 16. Cagliari said two days later that he had come out of a medically induced coma with "no evident neurological deficits".

The club did not say whether or when Trepy might resume training.
