The whole of football celebrated when Nouri came out of a coma in 2018, with the star having been knocked unconscious in a match against Werder Bremen in 2017.
While much time has passed since then, friends and teammates like De Jong and Dembele have not forgotten him.
This Tuesday April 2, De Jong posted a photograph on Twitter of himself hugging Nouri with the caption "stay strong, friend". Nouri continues to recuperate, bit by bit.
