On the mend: Michael SchumacherOn the mend: Michael SchumacherGetty Michael Schumacher’s condition was yesterday described as “stable” for the first time – without the rider “critical”.
But spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said the F1 legend , 45, was still in an induced coma in Grenoble, southeast France, after hitting his head while skiing on December 29.
Earlier, rumours were rife in German sporting circles that the seven-times world champion may not recover from the brain injury, which he sustained in the Alpine resort of Meribel.
But Ms Kehm said claims from anyone but Schumacher’s doctors or management were “pure speculation”.
She insisted medics had the full support of Schumacher’s family’s about his treatment and added: “Michael’s family is very happy and confident with the work of the team of doctors treating Michael.
“They trust them completely. Michael’s condition is still considered as stable.”
