Former Man Utd Midfielder Angel Gomes Hospitalized After Serious Head Injury

Lille midfielder Angel Gomes was rushed to the hospital following a serious head injury sustained during a Ligue 1 match against Reims. The incident occurred in the 11th minute when Gomes, who previously played for Manchester United, collided with Reims defender Amadou Kone. The collision led to Kone being sent off for the challenge.

The severity of the situation was immediately apparent as players from both teams urgently signaled for medical assistance. Gomes’ teammates placed him in the recovery position, and the players formed a protective circle around him as he received on-field treatment.

Fans at the Stade Auguste-Delaune showed their support by chanting Gomes’ name while he was attended to by medical staff. After a lengthy delay, Gomes was carefully strapped to a stretcher and carried off the pitch.

Lille later issued a statement on their social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), confirming that Gomes had regained consciousness and had been transferred to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

The match, which was halted due to the incident, resumed in the 45th minute with an additional 34 minutes added to the first half.

Gomes, who is 23 years old, continues to be monitored as fans and the football community send their best wishes for a full and swift recovery.
