Visits from family members, teammates from his club Girondins de Bordeaux, as well as the team’s president and coach, have lifted Elis’s spirits during his recovery. Reports from L’Equipe indicate that the Honduran international forward is regaining mobility, speech, and the use of his extremities after emerging from an artificial coma.
While his football career future is still uncertain, discussions regarding his return to the field will take place in the coming weeks depending on his progress. Supporters around the world are relieved to hear that Alberth Elis is on the road to recovery and are eagerly awaiting his return to the pitch.
