Alex Zanardi has been in hospital for over a month now after his wheelchair bike crashed into an oncoming truck. The racing legend had to fight for his life earlier in his career and managed to win that battle. It is still questionable whether this will succeed now.
His son Niccolo came this week with the message that he saw an improvement in his father's situation and was convinced that he will be fine. If anyone can win this battle, it's Alex Zanardi, that's the thought.
No further information
That it won't be easy, according to a press release from the hospital where he was admitted again on Friday. Zanardi had been staying in a rehabilitation clinic for a few days, but his situation became unstable and he had to be moved to the San Raffaele hospital in Milan.
"Given the instability of Zanardi's medical condition and after consultation with Dr Franco Molteni of the Rehabilitation Villa Beretta, the transfer of the athlete was ordered. At the Intensive Care of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, he received adequate treatment. For now, no further information will be released", the hospital's statement declares.
