Cagliari attacker Yael Trepy returns to football after near-fatal accident

Cagliari forward Yael Trepy made his return to professional football during a Serie A match against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. The 20-year-old French striker entered the game in the 91st minute, marking his first appearance in 71 days.

The return follows a life-threatening incident on August 16 in Costa Smeralda, where Trepy nearly drowned in a swimming pool. The accident required him to be placed in intensive care at the Santissima Annunziata hospital in Sassari, where he eventually emerged from a coma.

Following a period of rehabilitation and matches with the Primavera squad to regain fitness, Trepy expressed his gratitude to his family and supporters via social media. While Cagliari suffered a 4-2 defeat in the match, the club and coaching staff highlighted his return as a significant milestone for the team.
