See video of nasty head collision as Honduras footballer Elis remains in coma
Honduras striker Alberth Elis is in an induced coma after a serious head injury with his French club Bordeaux.
Elis, 28, was knocked unconscious just 40 seconds into the Ligue 2 game on Saturday, February 24 against Guingamp when he met a cross and collided with the head of defender Donatien Gomis.
Even though Gomis recovered quickly, Elis was treated for several minutes on the pitch before being evacuated to the hospital where he underwent surgery on Saturday evening.
“Alberth Elis suffered a head trauma which led to him being placed in an induced coma,” Bordeaux said in a statement.
“We will follow the evolution of his state of health in the hospital in the coming days.
“At this moment, it is still impossible to comment on Alberth’s vital signs and functional prognosis.”
