A top neurosurgeon has addressed reports on Michael Schumacher’s condition.

A top neurosurgeon has questioned reports claiming that Michael Schumacher was in attendance at his daughter’s wedding last month.

Gina Schumacher tied the knot with Iain Bethke in the family’s luxury villa in Majorca, with guests coming from far and wide to attend the ceremony. Reports claimed that Schumacher was in attendance at the event and guests saw their mobile phones confiscated to ensure that the Formula One legend was not photographed at the event.

The 55-year-old has been absent from the public eye since he sustained a life-changing brain injury after a skiing accident in the French Alps in December 2013.

He needed to undergo two rounds of life-saving brain surgery at Grenoble Hospital and now remains under the close supervision of his wife Corinna, with very few people able to visit the German.

His condition remains unknown though it was claimed that he was in Spain to watch his daughter, but a neurosurgeon has cast doubt over whether he will have recovered enough to be present at the event due to the nature of the information that has been made public on the ex-Ferrari star.

Speaking to Iltalehti, Jussi Posti, head of the neurosurgery and traumatic brain injury department at Turku University Hospital in Finland, said: “If a hospital has been built in his house, with everything medicalised around him, it seems that he has been in hospital most of the time.

“Based on the information available, I don’t think he leads a very active life. Everything points to him being unwell. As bedridden patients, most people become so frail and stiff that it is no longer possible to get them out of bed after so many years.”

Posti went on to explain that he believes the limited updates from Schumacher’s camp would imply that his condition has not improved markedly over the years, especially with the limited circle of people who can visit the German.

He concluded: “It suggests that he has probably been in the same condition for the last decade. I doubt that anything sudden has changed at this stage.

“Typically, patients recover what they can recover for up to two years, and then the level of recovery is usually set. Essentially, these types of patients are very experimental models at best.”
