Bas Dost, a 34-year-old Dutch striker, collapsed during a match but received immediate medical help and is now recovering in the hospital.
The 34-year-old Dutch striker suddenly collapsed in the centre circle in the 90th minute of the Eredivisie clash between AZ Alkmaar and NEC on Sunday.
The referee initially did not stop the play but AZ defender David Moller Wolfe quickly understood the severity of the situation and immediately called for medical help. Physios rushed onto the pitch and the player was given treatment before being stretchered off the pitch and taken to hospital. The former Wolfsburg player has since regained consciousness and NEC shared a message from the forward from his hospital bed on social media."I'm doing well. The help I received on the field was fantastic. I'm in the hospital now and I feel good. Thanks for all the support!"
Bas Dost: “Het gaat goed met me. De hulp die ik op het veld heb gekregen was fantastisch. Ik ben nu in het ziekenhuis en ik voel me goed. Bedankt voor alle support!” 😘Dost did manage to put up a fist to the crowd as he was stretchered off the pitch at the AFAS stadium. NEC general manager Wilco van Schaik said that the simple gesture went a long way."That fist said a lot. Like a victory that he experienced himself," he told NOS.
