THE family of FC Nordsjaelland defender Jonathan Richter says the player has had the lower part of his left leg amputated, six weeks after he was struck by lightning during a reserve game.
Richter's condition is improving and he will "very soon" be moved from the intensive care unit at a Copenhagen hospital, his family said in a statement posted today on the club's Web page.
It said he "was making great progress" but gave no details whether any of the 24-year-old Dane's organs had been damaged.
Richter was struck during a brief thunder storm on July 20 while playing against second-tier team Hvidovre. He was placed in an induced coma for 10 days.
Richter joined FC Nordsjaelland in 2005. The club is 8th in the Danish league.
