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.

巴黎医院管理局, 引用法国严格的医疗隐私规则, 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.”
