Players of NEC Nijmegen and AZ Alkmaar stood around Bas Dost as he received treatment after collapsing

NEC Nijmegen striker Bas Dost says he is "doing well" after collapsing on the pitch during Sunday's Eredivisie match against AZ Alkmaar, leading to the game being abandoned in added time.

Dost, 34, regained consciousness and acknowledged the fans as he was carried off on a stretcher in Alkmaar.

NEC were leading the game 2-1 after 91 minutes, with Dost scoring the opening goal and assisting his side's second.

Players from both clubs formed a ring around Dost as he received treatment.

"The help I received on the field was fantastic," Dost said in a message shared on NEC's social media.

The Dutchman added: "I'm in the hospital now and I feel good. Thanks for all the support!"
