Eagle-eyed football fans spotted Ronald Koeman digging for gold on Sunday afternoon. Koeman, 61, was in the dugout for the Netherlands as they opened their  Euro 2024  campaign against Poland.

Post-Sepsis Syndrome (PSS) is a collection of long-term physical, psychological, and cognitive complications that affect patients who have survived sepsis.
