Las Palmas midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has revealed that he is praying for Ajax and Netherlands player Abdelhak Nouri and plans to wear the youngster’s shirt under his jersey all season.

Nouri, 20, suffered “severe and permanent brain damage” after collapsing during a preseason friendly game in Austria.

Ajax said that doctors were “cautiously optimistic about his recovery” but he remains in hospital.

In a show of solidarity, Boateng - who has played for Milan and Spurs throughout his career, revealed that he will wear a jersey adorned with Nouri's name under his own for the duration of the season.

Nouri collapsed around 70 minutes into the pre-season friendly against German side Werder Bremen in Austria on Saturday.

He was treated by medics at the ground before being flown to hospital in a helicopter.
