Lille midfielder Angel Gomes has provided an update on his condition following a collision during a French league match against Reims on Saturday. The game was paused for over 30 minutes as Gomes received medical attention before being stretchered off the field and taken to the hospital for further assessment.
In a social media video on Sunday, the English player reassured fans, stating that he is back at home and feeling well despite suffering a knocked-out incident during the game. Gomes expressed gratitude to fans from both teams for their support and to the hospital staff for their care.
Following the match’s conclusion, which Lille won 2-0, both teams came together for a photo with a message of well wishes for Gomes written on a Reims jersey in French. In a light-hearted manner, Gomes joked about avoiding jumping for headers in the future.
