Michael Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm has given a short briefing to the media at Grenoble hospital stating that the seven-times world champion remains in a stable condition.
Schumacher was operated on for a second time yesterday with his medical team announcing that there had been a slight improvement in his condition.
Kehm said that Schumacher had remained stable overnight while the hospital has stated that they will not organise a press conference unless there was a change in the former champion grand prix driver's condition.
“Michael has been carefully supervised overnight and his condition at the moment is stable,” Kehm said.
“The good news for today is that we do not feel it necessary to hold a press conference because there are no significant changes.”
