Juan Matute Guimon Out of Intensive Care, American & German Specialists to Work With Madrid Hospital Team on Rehab

Juan Matute Guimon on Monday was moved out of intensive care and into a regular room at the Madrid hospital where he has been recovering from a life-threatening brain disorder that caused the 22-year-old Spanish team rider to collapse six weeks ago, his father reported.

Recovery of Juan’s brain was described as “incredible” by his father, Juan Matute Azpitarte, a three-time Olympian for Spain, who with his wife, Maria, has been in Madrid throughout the ordeal.

Improvement in his physical condition had also been “very fast.” he said after Juan was moved to a regular room at the Jiménez Díaz Foundation hospital in Madrid.

Doctors and physiotherapists at the hospital will evaluate Juan’s current condition along with experts from an American and a German company that specialize in rehabilitation in neurological cases.
