Swiss skier Albrecht needs specialized care
Berne - Swiss skier Daniel Albrecht will need several months of intensive rehabilitation and specialized treatment as he recovers from injuries in a serious downhill training crash.
"The next weeks and months will be about Daniel Albrecht recovering well enough to be able to lead a normal life," the skier's manager, Guisep Fry, said in a statement Friday.
Berne University's hospital said Albrecht, 25, would need complete peace and quiet and can only be visited by close friends and family.
"The complex injuries he sustained continue to require highly specialized medical treatment," the hospital said in a statement.
Albrecht, the 2007 super-combined world champion, suffered brain and lung injuries in the January 22 crash at Kitzbuehel, Austria. He was transferred from Austria to Switzerland on Sunday to continue his recovery. (dpa)
