Ajax Amsterdam have agreed millions in compensation with the family of ex-player Abdelhak Nouri. The club will therefore pay 7.85 million euros, as the Dutch record champions announced on Monday. Nouri suffered cardiac arrest on July 8, 2017 during a friendly once morest Werder Bremen in Austria. After that, the 24-year-old was in a coma and suffered from severe permanent brain damage.
Ajax has now acknowledged errors in medical care on the pitch and took responsibility for it as an employer. “It is good that an agreement has been reached so that we can complete this. We all know that the suffering for Abdelhak and his loved ones is not over. It remains a very sad situation,” said Ajax manager and ex-international Edwin van der Sar.
