Michael Schumacher’s condition is stable, says agent

Former Formula One champion Michael Schumacher’s condition is "stable", his agent Sabine Kehm told reporters outside the French hospital where he is being treated for brain injuries sustained in a fall while skiing.

"His condition remains stable this morning. At the moment this is good news but I don’t want to go into further prospects as it is too early. He is still in an artificial coma," Kehm said.

The seven-time F1 champion has since undergone two brain operations and remains in a medically induced coma.

“The good news for today is ... there’s no significant changes,” Kehm told reporters gathered outside the Grenoble hospital where he is being treated.

  “However, it is still very early, and the situation overall is critical. Everything can change immediately,” she added.

Doctors have refused to give a prognosis for Schumacher, saying they are focused on his immediate care. They are trying to reduce swelling in his brain by keeping him in a coma and lowering his body temperature to between 34 and 35 degrees Celsius (93.2 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit).
