Victim of a dislocation and fractures at the level of the cervical vertebrae 3 and 4 on Sunday during the Nationale match between Nice and Narbonne, the English second-row player of Stade Niçois underwent surgery on Sunday evening.
According to a statement from his club, the condition of James Lasis is still “considered worrying.” The 25-year-old player is conscious but still on respiratory assistance. As long as the goal of regaining spontaneous respiratory function is not achieved, it cannot be stated that the patient is out of life-threatening danger.
Stade Niçois has opened an email address (soutenirjames@gmail.com) to collect messages of support. A fund has also been set up to help his family.*
