It was a shock: Former Bundesliga striker Bas Dost collapsed during the league game in Alkmaar. The 34-year-old was taken to a hospital. Now his club is in touch with good news.
Former Bundesliga professional Bas Dost is on the mend after his sudden collapse on the pitch on Sunday. His club NEC Nijmegen announced this on Monday. However, he still has to stay in the hospital in Alkmaar and will be examined further in the next few days.
What was the reason for the collapse? “The doctors can’t say anything at all about the cause of Bas’s collapse,” said club director Wilco van Schaik, according to a report in the daily newspaper “De Gelderlander”. “It was a big shock for everyone yesterday, but he had a good night,” van Schaik continued. “This is important and a positive start to the recovery. We definitely have to take time for that.”
