Dismissal for the Waalwijk goalkeeper

Good news about his condition Etienne Faesenwho was seriously injured on Saturday after a fierce collision with Ajax striker Brian Brombay shortly before the end of the match.

The Waalwijk goalkeeper returned home yesterday (1/10) late afternoon after spending one night in hospital. He remains under medical observation, but so far his tests are clear.

“He spent a night in the hospital, where they ran tests. Luckily there was no internal bleeding so he looked fine. He had a restful night and returned home having taken the doctor’s and physiotherapist’s instructions. These are all positive messages” said Vaalwijk captain Mikiel Kramer.

Referring to the minutes that followed the collision of the 28-year-old Dutchman, where the first aid offered to him by the rescuers of the field, but also the use of a defibrillator saved his life, he emphasized:It was scary. You hope you never experience something like this. At that moment you are away from the world. Our doctor had to take out his tongue because he had swallowed it. When you see the resuscitation, you get scared and of course immediately think “cardiac arrest”. It was a shock».

As the general manager of Vaalwijk explained late on Saturday, Faesen suffered a heart attack from the blow, he said that after resuscitation on the pitch the footballer had no sense of space and had difficulty communicating with the environment, while in the hospital he recognized his favorite his faces, but without remembering anything from the moment of his injury and what followed.
