Ajax's Nouri wakes up from coma more than two years later

Ajax youth squad Abdelahk Nouri chilled the world of soccer over two years ago.

It was the summer of 2017 and the Dutch club, which at that time had promises such as De Jong or De Ligt , was playing a preseason match against Werder Bremen , when the young man, of Moroccan origin, suffered a cardiac arrest in half the game.

He was only 20 years old and, after leaving the stadium by helicopter on the way to the hospital, he fell into a coma after suffering "permanent and serious brain damage".

Now, more than two years after that day in Austria, "he is aware of where he is , he is much better," his brother explained in a television interview, adding that he had woken up from a coma and was able to communicate with gestures, moving eyebrows or smiling.
