Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar has been moved to a hospital in the Netherlands after he was hospitalised in Croatia after suffering a brain haemorrhage, his wife Annemarie said on Saturday.
Annemarie told Ajax Amsterdam FC that her husband had been moved to the intensive care unit of the hospital in the Netherlands after a brain bleed last week.
The 52-year-old, who was admitted to a Split hospital while on holiday in Croatia, would remain in intensive care in spite of him being in stable condition and out of immediate danger.

“Edwin has been repatriated from Croatia on Friday evening and is currently in the intensive care unit of a Dutch hospital.
“His situation remains the same; stable, in a non-life-threatening condition and communicative.
“The Van family would like to express their deep gratitude to the ‘University Hospital of Split’ for their great care during the last week,” Ajax Amsterdam FC quoted Annemarie as saying.
