Bas Dost collapsed during an Eredivisie game. He then had to be resuscitated. Now he came back with good news.
Update from Sunday, October 29th, 10:12 p.m.: The former Eintracht striker is now doing well once more. A few hours following his collapse during his NEC Nijmegen’s game at AZ Alkmaar, Dost reported on the X-channel of his club, the NEC Nijmegen – and brought relief to the football fans: “I’m fine. The help I got on the pitch was fantastic,” the club quoted the 34-year-old as saying.
He is now in the hospital, said the Dutchman, who worked for the SGE for around one and a half years from summer 2019. “Thank you for all the support,” said Dost, happy regarding the help and positive reception following the tragic event. The striker collapsed and was briefly unconscious on Sunday evening shortly before the end of the match between Alkmaar and Nijmegen. After he was revived, the game was immediately stopped.

Rescue workers rushed to revive the unresponsive Dutchman – with success. Meanwhile, his teammates and opponents formed a circle around the 34-year-old and temporarily covered him with a tarpaulin to block his field of vision. A procedure that is used once more and once more in such situations following the tragic case of the Dane Christian Eriksen. The current Manchester United player also collapsed during the preliminary round game once morest Finland at the 2020 European Championships, but was able to be resuscitated.

Shortly before Dost’s collapse, a similar case shook the Eredivisie
The Dutchman, who had previously stormed for VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, moved from Sporting Lisbon to SGE in 2019. After almost a year and a half, he moved on to FC Brugge in Belgium.
After a stint in Utrecht, he joined the NEC in August and has since contributed three goals and two assists (including the game in Alkmaar). Just a few weeks ago, a similar incident occurred during the Eredivisie game between RKC Waalwijk and Ajax Amsterdam, when goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen remained motionless on the ground and had to be resuscitated. But the goalkeeper also survived. (wuc)
