‘He is conscious, but not his old self’

Abderrahim Nouri provides a small health update about his younger brother Abdelhak, who turns 27 this Tuesday. The former Ajax midfielder is, contrary to what many people think, currently conscious but ‘not the old one’, Abdeharrim told the newspaper. NOS.

The broadcaster spoke to the older brother of the unfortunate Ajax player on Monday evening during the Futsal Cup and quotes: “Many people still think he is in a coma, but that is not the case: he is conscious. He is not his old self, but we We are very happy that he is among us.”

In the summer of 2017, a shock wave went through the football world when Abdelhak “Appie” Nouri collapsed at the age of twenty during a practice match between Ajax and Werder Bremen. The midfielder underwent prolonged resuscitation on the field. A few days later it became clear that he had suffered serious and permanent brain damage, which meant that he could no longer play football.

Ajax posted a message in honor of Nouri’s birthday on social media on Tuesday morning, even before the situation surrounding Alex Kroes came to light. Many supporters and other people from the football world also think about this; PSV player Noa Lang shares the post from the Amsterdam team via his Instagram Stories.
