The Italian football world is rallying behind Totò Schillaci, the former Juventus and Inter striker who became a symbol of Italy’s magical nights during the 1990 World Cup. Schillaci is currently hospitalized in the Pneumology department of Palermo’s Civico Hospital.
According to the latest medical bulletin released by the hospital, Schillaci was admitted on Monday evening, September 9th, due to a well-tolerated atrial arrhythmia. He immediately began pharmacological treatment, which has successfully stabilized his heart rate.
The medical team reports that the drug therapies have led to an improvement in Schillaci’s respiratory function, allowing for a reduction in oxygen support. This positive development is a significant step in his recovery process.
The bulletin further states that Schillaci is alert and conscious, with a notable improvement in his anxious state. As a result, he is now resting peacefully, which is crucial for his ongoing recovery.
This news comes as a relief to fans and fellow players alike, who have been concerned about the health of the football icon. Schillaci’s condition appears to be steadily improving, thanks to the dedicated care of the medical staff at the Civico Hospital.
