While the Honduran press has sought to be reassuring in recent hours regarding the evolution of Alberth Elis’ state of health, Gérard Lopez has published an inevitably worrying update.
The state of health of Alberth Elis has been shrouded in mystery since Sunday. Placed in a preventive coma upon his arrival at the hospital, after having suffered a violent blow to the head on Saturday during the match between Bordeaux and Guingamp, the 28-year-old Honduran striker was then operated on to to reduce the hematoma which was compressing the brain. Information confirmed Sunday evening by the Girondins.
But while a certain optimism was being heard, the club provided a clarification which cast a chill. “ At this moment, it is still impossible to comment on Alberth’s vital and functional prognosis. thus announced the Girondins, who also took care to add: “The club therefore expects not to be able to communicate any new decisive information for a few days and will not make any further comments on Alberth’s state of health. »
A lack of respect denounced
In recent hours, the Honduran press has nevertheless broadcast news about the Bordeaux striker. According to the media Diez, the Bordeaux player would indeed react favorably to the operation undergone during the night from Saturday to Sunday and could soon come out of the coma into which he was plunged preventively, the doctors having decided to reduce the sedation. The medical profession even assured Alberth Elis’ parents that they would be able to speak to their son within 48 hours. Enough to create a wave of optimism and visibly make Gérard Lopez react.
The president of the Girondins actually issued a vehement message on social networks, in French and Spanish, to call for respect. “Publishing detailed information about Alberth’s state of health is disrespectful and undermines his dignity,” castigated the Bordeaux leader, adding: “Sunday’s press release was perhaps not clear enough so I say it again: we call for respect for Alberth’s medical confidentiality and privacy. Only his family, with the advice of doctors, can decide to communicate about the evolution of his state of health. We will abide by their decisions and hope EVERYONE does the same. Thank you again for your support which means a lot. We are all with you in this fight Alberth!”
