Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has been transferred to a hospital in the Netherlands but remains in intensive care after suffering a brain haemorrhage last week, his wife Annemarie said on Saturday.
The 52-year-old, who was admitted to a hospital in Split while on holiday in Croatia, will remain in the intensive care unit, but his condition is stable and there is no immediate danger .
“Edwin was repatriated from Croatia on Friday evening and is currently in the intensive care unit of a Dutch hospital,” said Annemarie, quoted by Ajax Amsterdam, of which Van der Sar was until recently the director.
“His situation remains unchanged: stable, his vital prognosis is not engaged and he is able to communicate. The Van der Sar family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the University Hospital of Split for the care provided over the past week.”
