Angel Gomes Stable After Head Injury

Former Manchester United midfielder Angel Gomes suffered a serious head injury during Lille's Ligue 1 season opener against Reims, leading to a suspension of the match for 34 minutes. Gomes collided with Reims' Amadou Kone, who was subsequently sent off and seen praying for Gomes. Medical staff treated Gomes on the pitch for 17 minutes before he was stretchered off and taken to the hospital. Lille's president, Olivier Letang, confirmed that Gomes regained consciousness and is under medical supervision. The game resumed with Lille eventually winning 2-0. Despite the injury scare, Gomes was reported to be stable and even joked with his coach about playing next week.
