BORDEAUX, France — Honduras striker Alberth Elis is waking up from an induced coma after suffering a head injury when playing for Bordeaux. The 28-year-old Elis sustained the injury at the start of a second division match against Guingamp on Saturday after he clashed heads with defender Donatien Gomis. Elis was taken to a local hospital in Bordeaux and underwent surgery on Saturday night. His family says in a statement that they are "happy to share with you the first encouraging signs: Alberth is waking up and seems to be gradually recovering."
