Terrible news. I'd hoped that not being able to play football again would be the worst of it, this is a much more tragic outcome. Is he still in the induced sleep state? So we don't know for sure what he'll be like when he wakes up?
This sucks. Doesn't sound like there's much hope for regaining brain function or living a normal life, much less playing football ever again. Best of luck to him and his family.
Life can be so cruel to people who have done nothing to deserve it. There's no inherent fairness in the universe.
TFM's "God is in control" comment is almost offensive to me, surely there's better ways to express well-wishing than to say that everything happens according to a god's will. Was it god's will that this innocent kid should get permanent brain damage? But okay, this isn't the time or place for that discussion.
Didn't want to comment in this thread until the outcome of his collapse/recovery was clear. This news is horrendous. I hope Ajax will look after this kid and take care of all medical bills and requirements. I also hope the doctors have it wrong and he does go on to at least lead a normal life. It seems football is completely out of the question.
It sickens me too. So much for God being in control eh?Do have to agree with this though. It happens every time anything bad happens and the insinuation always sickens me I'm afraid.
Fair enough.Some people do both every single day.

I hope the kid isn't braindead and can continue to live his life well in some way but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore according to the comments by Nouri's brother.

Your post though? Fantastic. Two thumbs up.Such a terrible post. This is no time to be arguing about this when you know it's a topic that brings on a heavy debate.
This really is awful. By all accounts he's a totally decent caring friendly and well loved going man, and just like that his life is altered forever. My heart goes out to the lad and his family and friends
Nouri falls at the start of the video, he's still seen breathing. After 40 seconds first medic reaches him, the rest of them at 1:12. They seem to start looking for some specific medical equipment at 1:52 (still without CPR), then we get 7'30 minutes cut out. There's an ambulance and they're still on the pitch. No sight of anyone doing CPR, though I know there is mechanical utensil that can replace human with it, however I've got no idea how popular it is around the world (they're in Austria, 10km from Wiener Neustadt).
Why do you say it's useless? Just last week in my country there was an elder tourist on a mountain that suffered cardiac arrest, few people helped him out also performing CPR for 30 minutes until medical helicopter came. The man was saved and he's fine thanks to those who did the CPR, otherwise he'd be dead.
CPR is for someone that is not responsive. Nouri was still responsive in that video, but look extremely exhausted. They were probably looking of Oxygen.
Genuinely horrendous news to hear. Had a horrible feeling the second they were forced to put him in a coma.
Think people are being incredibly harsh on those in the video. The second there was a clear indication to start CPR, they did.
As a doctor working in a hospital, I've attended around 30-40 cardiac arrests calls during my first year. Even in a hospital setting where the kit is literally meters away from every patients' bay, the success rate barely hits 50% statistically - in true practice, only about 7 or so from what I recall actually regained cardiac rhythym. Out of hospital, it's about 10%.
The fact they managed to save his life is an incredible achievement.
The fact he's 20 is horrific, not because he's a footballer. I can't imagine how painful it must be for his family right now.
