GENEVA: Former Formula One champion Michael Schumacher has left a Swiss hospital and will continue his treatment at home after a devastating ski accident in December, his family said in a statement Tuesday.
In a surprise announcement, a spokeswoman for the family of the retired German racing star said he was being moved from a top-
notch hospital in the Swiss city of Lausanne to his home in nearby Gland.
"Henceforth Michael's.rehabilitation will take place at his home," Sabine Kehm said,stressing that "considering the severe injuries he suffered, progress has been made in the past weeks and months".
"There is still, however, a long and difficult road ahead," she cautioned, providing no further details on Schumacher's health status.

The seven-time world champion underwent two operations to remove life-threatening blood clots after the freak accident that
shocked the world, before being plunged into a medically induced coma.
