After a terrifying accident in training yesterday, I underwent surgery last night and everything went well.

With a fracture in my rib, scapula, hand, bruises on my lungs, and a dislocation of my right collarbone, which has caused all the surrounding ligaments to be torn, it will be a long journey, but I am completely focused on my recovery and determined to come back stronger, step by step.

I am very grateful for all the help and support I have received in the last 24 hours. From the emergency services, the neighbors who helped me in the first moment, the medical teams in Anderlecht and Herentals, and our team doctor Phil.

Also a special mention to my wife, my family for being by my side in these difficult times, and to everyone for their messages of support.

I also want to express my support to the woman involved in the accident.
