Trepy had started upfront in the Coppa Italia victory over Arezzo a week ago, but during his weekend off, got into trouble in the deep end of the pool at a villa.
He was placed in an induced coma to help get the water out of his lungs, but is now making a rapid recovery, and has been moved out of the ICU at the Santissima Annunziata Hospital in Sassari.
