“Not in danger of death”

Omar Elabdellaoui has played 29 times in the Bundesliga, the Norwegian is vice-captain of his team. In an accident on New Year’s Eve, the professional is now seriously injured, but there is no danger of death. But there are concerns about the player’s eyesight.
Soccer pro Omar Elabdellaoui apparently seriously injured himself during the New Year celebrations. The former Braunschweig resident, currently signed to Turkish record champion Galatasaray, suffered burns to his face, an eye injury and hand injuries in an accident at his home, according to the club. Elabdellaoui is said to have set off a firework in his hand. Galatasaray confirmed the accident, the player had been taken to hospital. “His life is not in danger,” the club said, saying the professional footballer was conscious.
Galatasaray Vice President Abdurrahim Albayrak, coach Fatih Terim and Arda Turan rushed to the hospital to visit Elabdellaoui. According to media reports, the extent to which the view could have been affected is being investigated. Albayrak told Turkish media that Elabdellaoui could speak and respond to doctors. Omar’s eyes will wash, then more will be known. Norwegian is “our heart, our lungs”.
There was anger among gala officials over images of the injured player that were shared on social media. “The player has three children,” Albayrak said, adding that the dissemination of the images was unscrupulous. Congratulations immediately came from Galatasaray’s local rival Fenerbace Istanbul: “We wish Galatasaray Sports Club footballer Omar Elabdellaoui a speedy recovery and hope that he will recover as soon as possible.”
Elabdellaoui had already inadvertently made headlines in the fall. After a positive crown test with the vice-captain, the entire Norwegian national team was quarantined. The international Nations League match against Romania had to be canceled.
