8 JULY 2017 Werder Bremen - Ajax Friendly

[Ayman]

Life after the Europa league final. First friendly against a german side. With all the transfer speculations, Ajax are in for a turbulent summer. Let's hope they keep the nucleus of the squad, excluding Klaassen and Veltman.

As the Ajax squad trains, the 25 man squad, doesn't include Dijks or Tete, apparently because they are nearing transfers away from the club. Personally I give up, as far as I am concerned, Tete is no longer an Ajax player.

[SPL]

Tete was never going to extend his contract,great shame.Westermann also about to leave is omitted.Onana Cerny and Younes because of recent international duty are on holiday Younes will start his summer holiday tomorrow.

Jong Ajax players going are Alblas ,V Bladeren,Zeefuik Dankerlui,Savastano,Bergsma Mazraoui.Possibly wanting to see who amongst the Jong Ajax defenders are good enough to be standby's . Zeefuik will certainly be a standby and I would not rule out Bergsma. Mazraoui plays several positions a real utility player

I'm on holiday in Ireland and it's a bit difficult keeping up with some of the news. Has Sanniez been told he can leave? He was highly rated but I didn't see much during the past Jong season.

Sanniez isn't in the squad, so the safe assumption is, that he is looking for a new club.

Any live streams for this game? @SPL @Oranje14

[SPL]

cricfree should have a stream ,I'm out at cricket tomorrow so wont be watching.Really a training game with 2 different 11's per half. V Leer has a torn muscle in his buttock so wont play.

[SPL]

cricfree.sc has a stream.

[Amol]

We're up 1-0. Cassierra!

[King Litti]

Damn, Nouri is going have to leave the field with a stretcher. This is not good.

[King Litti]

Missed what happened, but man, this looks serious. An ambulance and paramedics running around. Hope for the best. Feel so sorry for the young guy. This was supposed to be his breakthrough season.

[kezme44]

looks like he collapsed. heart attack?

[Amol]

Shit, this looks really serious. I fear a heart attack as well.

[Manneken Pis]

Ajax Life Twitter says they've ripped off his shirt and are using a defribilator.

Terrible...

[King Litti]

This can't be happening

[kezme44]

helicopter arrived. not looking good

[Manneken Pis]

Official Ajax Twitter says: "Update Nouri: There is talk of a cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heart beat). He is stable, has heart beat and is being kept asleep."

Being flown by helicopter to hospital.

[Amol]

He has a heart rate and is sleeping. There were heart murmurs.

[Ayman]

Gosh that was so scary, it was like one of those moments you dread, when players of the past come to mind e.g. Marc Vivien-Foe

[zeux]

Sno comes to mind

[SPL]

Just come in and seen the news , I am in complete shock cannot take it in at the moment.I love watching this lovely kid he is my actual favourite .

[Orange14]

just seeing this as well. We were on a plane from Ireland back home. Pray for a speedy recovery and that he can indeed play football again.

[SPL]

Update from the club says he is out of danger.Thank goodness. Since seeing this earlier the whole last few hours seems like a bad dream.

[raymon]

Out of danger is not the same as without lasting impact. It is still unknown what actually happened and whether this has any impact on his physical or mental abilities. Let's hope not and that he'll have a speedy recovery but the next few days/weeks will be very important.

[SPL]

I am 66 years old, a silly old englishman but make no apologies for saying I have shed tears for this lad. Whether he is ever going to make it I would not know but he is a real Ajax kid who lives for the club and football.Last December when at the JC Arena his coming on as sub produced the biggest cheer ,apart from the 2 goals.Hughly popular with all fans.When the players walked around at the end I only wanted to take his picture.

I saw pictures on Ajax showtime, of our players on holiday ,but Appie was playing footy for a children's football charity. Appie turned down offers from abroad even though we did not contract him until 17.

Let us hope he makes a full recovery of health ,this is more important than whether he plays again.

Ps I still have tears in my eyes typing this. I feel none of you will think me silly!
