Kristoffer Olsson is no longer being cared for on a ventilator

The midfielder was taken to hospital and has since been cared for on a ventilator – and on March 1 the Danish club announced that the situation is stable.

Since then, further updates have been added. On March 7 that the doctors at the hospital determined that it was a matter of blood clots in the brain.

Now comes another update from Midtjylland, which announces that Olsson is no longer being cared for on a ventilator.

Olsson can instead breathe on his own – and now he has been transferred from Århus University Hospital to Hammel Neurocenter, where his rehabilitation can continue.

However, Olsson has not yet regained either his motor skills or his verbal ability, and a long period of rehabilitation is expected.

“Unfortunately, Kristoffer has not yet recovered either his motor function or his verbal abilities. His condition is continuously evaluated and further examinations and treatment will be required. It is still too early to give a final forecast,” writes FC Midtjylland on its website.

Claus Steinlein, CEO of the Danish club, is grateful for the work that the staff at Århus University Hospital have put in.

The care and support he and the family have received has been invaluable.

– We at FC Midtjylland would like to thank the medical staff at Aarhus University Hospital for the dedicated and highly professional treatment that Kristoffer has received during his hospital stay, just as the care and support he and the family have received has been invaluable, he says to Midtjylland’s website.

Until further notice, Olsson will continue to be surrounded by his closest relatives and members of Midtjylland’s staff.
