Condition of Michael Schumacher 'not changed'

Doctors treating injured Michael Schumacher are still working to bring him out of a coma.



The former seven-time champion, suffered a severe head injury in a skiing accident in the French Alps on 29 December.

"Michael is still in the wake-up phase," said his manager Sabine Kehm in a statement on Friday. "The situation has not changed."

Schumacher has been in a medically induced coma to help reduce the swelling in his brain.
Last month, Schumacher's family said they still "strongly believe" in his recovery, adding: "We are aware the wake-up phase can take a long time."

Investigators probing the accident said Schumacher had been going at the speed of "a very good skier" at the time of his crash in the resort of Meribel.

He had been skiing 8m off-piste when he fell and hit a rock, investigators said.

Experts reconstructed events leading up to the crash after examining Schumacher's skiing equipment and viewing footage filmed on a camera attached to his helmet.
