What happened. Cagliari striker Yael Trepy has been given the all clear to resume training a month after a drowning incident left him in a coma. The 20-year-old ran into difficulty in the deep end of a rented pool in Sardinia on August 16 and was hospitalised in critical condition.

He was placed in an induced coma to remove water from his lungs and spent 10 days in hospital.
Cardiac tests in Milan showed no after-effects of the incident.
His return will be gradual, with no clear date for playing again.

Trepy joined Cagliari's youth academy in 2023 and started the season's first Coppa Italia match before the accident.
