Former F1 driver Michael Schumacher is reportedly to undergo stem cell therapy.
Seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher is being treated with a cutting-edge stem-cell therapy in a Paris hospital, according to reports in France.
A report in Le Parisien claims that Schumacher was admitted under tight guard on Monday to the Georges-Pompidou hospital.
The paper says the treatment is scheduled to be administered on Tuesday.
A autoridade hospitalar de Paris, citando as rígidas regras de privacidade médica da França, said it could not comment on the claims.
His long-time manager Sabine Kehm has yet to comment.
Schumacher, 50, suffered a near-fatal brain injury in a 2013 skiing accident in the French Alps.
Schumacher’s condition stabilised after he was placed in a drug-induced coma, from which he later emerged.
Since September 2014, he has been cared for at home on the shores of Lake Geneva.
In a radio interview in July, his former Ferrari boss Jean Todt said they had been watching Formula One together on television.
He added: “Michael is in the best hands and is well looked after in his house. He does not give up and keeps fighting.”
