PARIS:
Michael Schumacher remains in a ‘wake-up phase’ from the coma he was placed in following a life-threatening skiing accident nearly ten weeks ago, said his spokeswoman Friday.
The statement from Sabine Kehm was the first since February 13, when the Formula One legend’s family said they continued to strongly believe that he would recover.
Kehm said: “Michael is still in the wake up phase.
“The situation has not changed. Any medical information published which is not confirmed by the team of doctors treating Michael or his management has to be considered as not valid.”
Schumacher’s condition has been the subject of much speculation by media around the world but few details have been released by the medical team looking after him in the University clinic in the French Alpine city of Grenoble.
Reports that he had contracted pneumonia but beaten the lung infection in the first-half of February have not been confirmed or denied.
