Dapo Mebude, a former winger for Watford and Rangers, was taken to the hospital over the weekend following his involvement in an automobile accident in Belgium, where he currently plays football.
After being involved in a car accident over the weekend that sent him to the hospital, Dapo Mebude underwent successful surgery, his club Oostende has revealed.
Mebude has been a player for Belgian team Oostende since 2022. He started his career with Rangers and previously played with Watford. The training match between his side and Knokke was rescheduled when he sustained injuries in a terrifying vehicle accident and had to be treated at AZ Brugge hospital.
According to reports from Belgium, Mebude, 22, required assistance from the fire department following the collision, which involved a car hitting a tree. On Sunday night, Oostende gave a new update and said further information would be available on Monday.
According to Oostende’s statement, “Dapo Mebude underwent successful surgery following his accident.” “On Monday, we will get additional details regarding his circumstances.
We appreciate the excellent treatment provided by the AZ Brugge medical personnel. We send our best wishes for strength and a speedy recovery to Dapo and his family.”
Several football supporters left supportive remarks for the young player in the comments section of Oostende’s post. One said, “Very best wishes, Dapo,” and others wished him a quick and complete recovery.
Numerous well-wishers were Rangers supporters. Born in England, Mebude played for the Gers for a number of years before agreeing to a professional contract as a teenager. Under Steven Gerrard, he made his senior debut for the team.
In the summer of 2021, he chose to leave Scotland and join Watford, who had recently been promoted to the Premier League. Before going to Oostende, he played his first season as a Hornet on loan at AFC Wimbledon, where he scored twice in 25 league games.
In Mebude’s debut season, the Belgian team was demoted from the Belgian premier division. He has only made two appearances this season as Oostende, who are currently bottom of the second-tier Challenger League after 16 games, attempts to escape being relegated for the second time in a row.
