“I am very grateful for all the help and support I have received in the last 24 hours. From the emergency room, to the neighbors who helped me in the first moments, to the medical teams from Anderlecht and Herentals and our team doctor. Also a special mention to my wife and family for standing by me in these difficult moments and to everyone for the messages of support. I also want to express my support to the woman involved in the accident”.
