Cagliari joy as Trepy returns 2 months after nearly drowning

Cagliari joy as Trepy returns 2 months after nearly drowning Cagliari may have lost 4-2 to Roma, but the most important success story of the night was the return to the field of Yael Trepy, two months after he nearly died in a swimming pool. The 20-year-old striker had impressed for the Sardinians in pre-season and started their Coppa Italia win over Arezzo on August 14. It was three days after that he was enjoying some time off in a rented villa with friends when he took a dip in the swimming pool , not realising how deep it was, and got into difficulty. He was rushed to hospital and kept in intensive care while the fluid was removed from his lungs, making a full recovery.

The young striker almost marked it with a goal, immediately sprinting into the box to force a save out of Pierluigi Gollini. A product of the Cagliari youth academy, Trepy will see this as a crucial moment in his career, which was so nearly cut cruelly short by an accident.
