Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted July 8, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 8, 2017 Ajax's Abdelhak Nouri has collapsed on the pitch during a friendly against us just now... There's an ambulance on the pitch, looks like they've been reviving him for the last 10 minutes or so, everyone's shocked. Hopefully it's not as serious as it looks.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted July 8, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 8, 2017 Just now, Cannabis said: I know of him through FIFA and Football Manager. He's an exciting attacking midfielder if the games are correct. Such a shame that he's collapsed and you just have to hope the paramedics can get him back together. After what has happened in the past this is worrying news. Hopefully it's just some sort of a heatstroke and not anything more serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted July 8, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 8, 2017 So apparently he had heart arrhythmia, was resuscitated, then airlifted to the hospital in a helicopter Ajax tweeted he is in a stable condition and his heart beats on its own now though.

It does beg the question about checking these players often though, I don't want to jump onto the physio's back as I'm not an expert but could this not have been picked up beforehand? As much as I'm aware, those are usually underlying congenital/genetic heart conditions that are pretty hard to spot in otherwise healthy individuals, as it doesn't usually show in regular screenings like ECG. It's like a ticking bomb, really. Calls for better screening are definitely justified, but I'm not sure that economic costs of it would be viable for many athletes/clubs/associations bar the highest level. Related anecdotal example: my mum accidentally found out that she actually had a congenital heart valve defect in her mid-fifties only, after getting comprehensive screening due to unrelated issues.

Ajax are quite hot on this now because another player a few years called Evander Sno had a heart attack playing for Ajax reserves. Sometimes things just happen and are very hard to be picked up when it concerns the heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted July 12, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 12, 2017 I read yesterday that there's no long-term damage for his heart, so that's good news already. His preliminary brain scan doesn't show any signs of damage either, but of course they can only confirm it once he's fully awake... It looks like this could end much much better than similar cases in the past, fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will surely get regularly monitored for the foreseeable future as the risk it will happen again has probably increased significantly.

Will surely get regularly monitored for the foreseeable future as the risk it will happen again has probably increased significantly. It really depends on what is the actual problem behind it, as heart arrhytmias is a bit of a vague term. Doctors usually advise against returning to professional sport in most cases, but there are a few pro athletes with pacemakers or implanted defibrillators. If it's hypertrophic cardiomyopathy though (which is the leading cause of cardiac arrests in young athletes), I doubt he'd be able to continue though.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted July 13, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted July 13, 2017 Horrible news, doctors have confirmed that Nouri has suffered severe permanent brain damage with no chance of recovery.

6666 1,310 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Scary that this can happen to someone who is young and fit. Don't really know where he can go from here. Tragic situation for him and his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNORTHODOX 179 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 It doesn't sound good... can't even imagine how his family are feeling now knowing that there's nothing down for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panna King 1,012 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 His brother spoke on Dutch news. Elder brother Abderrahim said that doctors have informed the family that prospects of Nouri regaining any level of independent living are extremely slim. "The doctors are quite confident that he will not recover. If he were to wake up, he would not be able to think, eat, talk, walk or even recognise people," he told AD. "He would not be able to function normally. "But we are not giving up. God will decide his fate. Our religion [Islam] teaches us to accept things and we are praying for his recovery. "We think this life is only temporary and the eternal comes after this one, but everybody would have liked to see him score goals first."

Now this happens out of the blue, he even had a full medical test last week. It looks like he will die or it will through euthanasia which is legal in Holland. His family wouldnt want to have him live like that. I hope he does wake up and has made any sort of recovery. #StayStrongAppie Edited July 14, 2017 by VanPanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
